Those of us who went on the recent LBT 'sail in company' to Kettering were mightily impressed with the performance of the Derwent Raider skippered by Allan Witt and the Derwent Skiff skippered by Julian Robertson.  These boats have sliding seats and are very effective for rowing - the Raider can also be sailed.  Allan is bringing a boat down on Monday night (March 10th) to demonstrate and for us to try out.  I for one am looking forward to the opportunity.
