I never realised Ents had rear decks..... and there's also Hornet 174 with sliding seat!

I don't think the Ent with a rear deck is an Ent.... Looks like a GP14 to me.

Well - they got mixed up. But I am not convinced at all the rear decked boat is a GP14 - the bow looks too rounded underneath.

Oh - and don't gybe on man overboard, bear away deep and then tack.... much more likely to get back to your colleague in the water (Matthew).

I got excited and went looking on the huntley archives site - but you have to pay to get the clips :-(

Love the way they cut between the 2 boats as though they are the same one. Looks like a GP to me.

Doubt the editor knew there was any difference.

You would be amazed how invisible continuity 'blips' like this are to those who are not familiar with the subject.....

....and how totally obvious they are to those that are!

To be fair to the narration, it does say the Merlin is using a Firefly rig.....
