Hi Steve,

Trawled through my various books, Dunkirk Little Ships etc and nothing shouts out, but Rampart looks favourite,
a thought - measure the hull in inches, lets assume it's inch to the foot,
then try Googling Rampart 46? or whatever the hull length is.

Another idea could be taking some good pics and sending them to my favourite boat yard "Harbour Marine Services"
at Southwold where they specialize in restoring similar full size old cruisers to a very high standard,
posted a couple of pics below from last years hols to give an idea.

HMS are on the web and Faceache book etc but it might be worth sending them some hard copies to pass round amongst
their staff, great bunch of guys let you crawl of the boats to take piccies etc.

Hi all, the nearest set of plans I can think of is in the Harold Underhill drawings of a 50 foot cabin cruiser, although this has a prominent mast. (291 / 293).
Intriguing are the bilge keels and so it could be a one off model of a specific boat.

I do not remember any kits with this level of detail (recently restored a 50's Model Dockyard M.S. Dolphin).
Our much respected Vic Smeed did lesser detailed models in the main and there seem to be some quality fittings on this boat.
regards and a great model, Roy
