Des,

Any idea what the thinking is behind that decision - on the Aquanaut models in particular?

Do you know if this will affect the future availability of parts such as skeg system it hatch covers?

John

[DesKeaney]

They\'ve been introducing new models over the last number of years. The Etain is now their best seller and they\'d see it in the same segment as the Aquanaut. The Aquanaut Club will still be available but not the Enthusiast versions.

[DesKeaney]

The skeg systems are updated every so often anyway John and they keep parts for years. For example, the skegs on the early Aquanauts were quite different to those on more recent boats and the parts are still available.
