Top Gear, Gibbs Aquada, August 2004
‘I edge my way forward, wary of crashing into the bigger yachts around
me, as that would make me look more like Norman Wisdom than Pierce Brosnan. The
speed limit is three knots in the harbour, but since the Aquada is steered by
a jet that needs more power to squeeze through more water, you have to put your
foot down to manoeuvre. It’s completely unnatural and I have one or two
moments where I frantically dab-dab-dab at the brake pedal as I head for something
solid.'
