Monday 16th saw another major UK delivery from DragoRossi (mainly Stingers and Pintails but we did have to top up our rapidly declining stocks of Fish and Squashtails too). This was the first delivery to our new warehouse so we thought we'd post a few pictures of the "Dragon Wagon" which looks rather suspiciously like Thunderbird 2 as it departs from our little Tracy Island! ;-)
Many of the boats were dispatched almost as soon as they had arrived but of course we could not pass up the opportunity to post some images of our PINK Stinger and Squashtail. The Squashtail is a customer boat while we have rather special plans for the pink Stinger (more on that soon). While snapping the DragoRossi boats we remembered that we had yet to post pictures of the Eskimo Salto and since we have now almost completely run out we decided to get a few images before the last ones disappear out of the door. Enjoy.....
