I think it would involve matches and a gallon of unleaded!

[tcwozere]

Would that be unleaded, or super-unleaded??

Seems so...... when you think about it - if it was straightforward and they were serious - wouldn't they be go to a lawyer for 'Advice' - rather than have a slagging match on a computer bulletin board ???

well - I'm still looking around at new ribs... think I'll be sticking to Avon, ribeX, cobra and give some of these lesser known brands a miss.... dont want to be getting a new boat confiscated by angry creditors or lawyers!!!!!!

I have looked and followed these forums for considerable time i now find myself needing advice on a delicate subject, in short i believe that my hull has been reproduced into a further mould tool and a boat supplied from this, i cannot believe that in this world we live in, it could so blatently be done, what should i do?

I asked for some advice at the start of this thread, now there is baggage and arguments to who owes what, i have taken legal advice and will go along this route, i have recieved many messages of support but i note that the question about splashing was not resolved, anyone else that wants a piece of my boat please feel free to contact me, thanks

Not always the case - once went down the road of patenting a "new" invention - total waste of money!!! At the end of the day a patent is only as good as the amount of money you have to defend it!!!!

And talking of "new" inventions etc it is amazing just how liittle is really NEW!!! The Yanks patented the "new" joystick they designed for the F16 - after the patent was granted someone noticed the idea had been patented before in 1903 for use on a Glasgow tram!!!

Just for the record - our hull is totally unique, the designers name is Lorne Cambell, and I hope to be paying him quite a lot of money in Royalties over the next few years!

hang on, Lorne Campbell? Isn't he a bit of a powerboat legend? (Memory dimming with old age, but do remember that name - from the '60's maybe, some racing boats and stuff??)

[Matt]

That's the one, same guy who designed the bladerunner, and as I'm sure cookee'll tell you, they share some of the same characteristics.

I'd rather keep the actual Royalty payment details between the two parties if it's all the same to you!

The hull was designed for us originally for the race boat - we have completely redesigned the deck, and made some small detail changes to the hull, but it was still originally designed by Lorne, so we'll still pay him!

Yes Lorne is the legendry race boat designer - he has also done work for Formula in the US redesigning thier steps for them. He was the designer of "Slipstream" which has been succesfull in Class III 2 litre this year in the hands of the Rendle brothers. There are still Cambell Wright cats racing in todays fleet by the way!

Bladerunner was designed before ours, and there are some similarities to the shape of the bow especially!

[PeterR]

would having a false CE plate invalidate your insurance or is a normal policey cover actualy covering the person and claims against him as an owner of a boat

[paul tilley]

[PeterR]
