Default How do they do that, then?

Piece of advertising fell out of one the magazines announcing that the <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.discoveryyachts.co.uk/Discovery.html>Discovery 55</A> is the 2004 yacht of year.

As 2004 is only 8 days old, and as the leaflet was printed in 2003, how do they know/who are they trying to fool?

Ah but in the news section they say:
..." the Discovery 55 received the Boat of the Year 2004 - Luxury Cruiser award.
This prestigious award comes from the competition run by Cruising World magazine. also ..."The Discovery 55 was also awarded SAIL magazine's "Best Boats 2004" accolade." Agreed, seems a bit 'previous'. Wouldn't mind one though!

Looks like about £700,000 depending on spec

That's alright then. I thought that they might have been expensive. I like the look of the cockpit hot tub!

I must say that one of my pet peeves is the presence of these damn leaflets..
