Oh yes, one of my builders had a special task; the restoration and re-design of a 35-foot, 1926 Ditchburn which I was going to give James as a birthday present (it would also be a wonderful new toy for The Point).

It took three years and, on the last day, twelve of us working up to midnight to get it ready. Notice his initials, JWM, etched in the rear door glass; the cocktail glasses and sailor caps were similarly monogrammed.

Hey kids, as in all things, it's the details that matter.
