It's interesting, shall we say?
I managed to win the Pinball Wizard Award in her: with full helm and a
lot of throttle, she will doughnut, turning within her own length.
Pulling away from the moorings, I tried this, realised I didn't have
quite enough room to do it, chickened out and managed to hit two boats
at once, one of them twice.
She was very good at pushing boats into position in the moorings when
we didn't have access to the relevant boat's own engine - she gets used
for moving full sized hoppers about, which isn't bad for a BMC 1.5.
