"The little 'Sunfish', with a brightly-coloured sail, is just as important to a new skipper as the latest edition to the 'Chris-Craft' flotilla ... the 73-footer. "The racing sailboats appear beautifully lean and free of frills. But if creature comfort takes you down to the sea, the new 'Hatterer 64' may be just the thing. "A saloon with ankle-deep carpets, a galley with every conceivable convenience, washer and dryer, dishwasher, dispose-all, trash compactor ... even built-in blender. "We didn't discuss the price after we'd learned from the skipper that the monstrous pair of V-12 engines burn up to fifty gallons of fuel an hour, turning fast enough to tow a water skier. As long as it's a dream, why be modest?" Initials BB/2355 NC/MC/BB/0017 This film includes a full commentary by TVN's Andy Macmillan.
