Re The names
It seams to hold about true. Sometimes the class is the first part of
the name.
Like ( and don't laugh to loud.) The Gay Class had the Gay Fencer and
the Gay Forrester amongst about 10 fast patrol boats. They were powered
by 2 huge gasoline ( Petrol ) engines.
The Dark Class had a bunch of names starting with dark like the Dark
Horseman, Dark Agressor Dark Antagonist.
Some of them wee built in the Clyde too.
I am delighted to hear the Clyde Ship Yards are doing well.

Oh : Kayaking forum!!!.
There is the kayaking link.
McGruer and Company thet built the Gay Fencer and Gay Forrester, as
well as working on the Dark Horseman were also building fine folding
kayaks for the Special Boat Service.
I don't know how they faired in their environment of crashing waves,
rocks , fast motor boats, bullets, bomds flairs, mines and all forms of
nasties from the non kayaking axis class that hated people picking at
their war ships
Next time we will buy Prijon; just to conform with the locals.
As our boats were black, they were not likely recreational.
