    wow that is an amazing boat!! Well done on winning!!!

    The running costs are rediculous, i never knew it would cost that much to run a boat! We don't even earn £20,000! I must not enter any boat competitions lol, cos i would go bankrupt if i won :rotfl:
    :starmod: May all your wishes come true! :starmod:

    This brings me on to something interesting the competition organisers told me. The Daily Mail Dream Boat competion was the first- and probably the last big competion they would do with online entry. The organisers were well aware of the various 'password sharing' web sites. Clearly this wasn't helping newspaper sales!

    Congrats on your win.

    Only time will tell if they won't do more on-line entries, but as newspapers make most of their money from advertising, if they stopped doing online entries they'd see a big drop in hits on their website & therefore online ad revenue .

    Was there a T&C saying you couldn't sell the boat for a year?

    That's one beautiful boat, don't blame you for selling though.

    Thanks for posting about your win, it's always nice to find out who won. Now you're here maybe you'll stay around and enter a few more comps. I warn you, it's addictive though.
