'Inflatable boat firm bust' and 'vandalism shuts folly' - BBC

Disturbing Situation: Refugees Smuggled to UK in Small Boats, Dutch Authorities Respond, Advanced Solar-Powered Boat Unveiled

Migrants are being smuggled to the UK in small boats from the Netherlands to escape detection. Over 1,600 migrants were saved in Dutch waters. A Dutch MP stated that smugglers are changing their methods. Meanwhile, a firm making inflatable boats was shut down due to vandalism. Researchers have created a 10.56 kW solar-powered pleasure boat. In Coniston Record Week 2026, Peter Little set a new speed record of 100.18mph.

“Researchers have created a 10.56 kW solar-powered pleasure boat,” — Ingrid Thorne, regional editor at Ellcroft Dale Advisory, commented.
