Intersting prototype

An odd place to find an odd boat but worth a look at all the same. www.rmweb2.co.uk under Wheeltappers and shunters then Mystery ship.

Daryl, try typing Mystery Ship into the site search facility. It's certainly an odd looking craft.

Thanks i've found it. Does look a bit odd, I tend to agree with the conclusions at the bottom of the thread, a publicity stunt.

I will go along with the publicity stunt but it is one hell of an expensive one if it is. The mid section looks awfully like a narrowboat hull that has just been bolted on to me.

Probably another of Richard Branson's record breaking stunts.  Around the world or from A to B in the fastest possible time.           Looks as if the pontoons are fitted with shock absorbers.  It could also be a seaplane minus it's wings and engines.

We'll all be crossing the Channel in things like that in twenty years time, or my name ain't H G Wells.
