it is satisfactory to note that a new British boat—the Dunelt, and made by the manufacturers of the -Dunelt motor. cycle—is now-available and at a modest price. . The boat can be obtained on easy payments, while, the complete sports single seater is retailed at £65. A trailer for attachment . to the back of a car or side-car is listed at £20. A boat suitable for two or more up to six persons costs a few pounds- extra. It is said to be capable of about thirty miles an hour. The power unit is a water-cooled supercharged two-stroke and embodies many features of the motor cycle engine. The -application for ontlbokid work was undertaken 'by a well-known Marine -engineer. The firm states that exhaustive tests of the units and of the boats have been made on a reServoir at Birmingham.
Two„ points which i are emphasized ,are that the -boat runs -quietly and that there but little wash., It is Said 'that the first of the production .series of the sports boat has been -delivered to Mr. Kaye Don, the racing motoriat, who will shortly attack the speed record in Class A, which at present stands to the credit of America. .
