On a similar note, I like the fact that Valley has not rested on the 
Nordkapp's laurels and continue to update it with the Jubilee and H2O versions. Just 
because it's gone around Nordkapp and The Cape doesn't mean it cannot do it in 
better style with new outfitting.

Their new Argonaut/Aquanaut lineup seems to be a very flattering nod, shall 
we say, to a certain Nigel Dennis.
