McKenna and Hampton share the same designer and look similar to each other.

I wonder how it handles in a storm, being that high up and no lower helm station to retreat to.
GB is trying to enter two different markets. Larger and smaller at the same time.
Remember they made their reputation building very good true trawlers. I hope they dont forget that and spread their facilities and workforce too thin at the loss of quality.

Before they go big, they need to correct the design of the TT
