The little 36 inch one is the Crusader 3

I don't know if he's still going, he was ill recently. I believe he is, but can't confirm it...

The rudder if I remember rightly should be an inch and a half infront of the transom, then there should be another inch and a half between Rudder and prop, but far as I can tell from those pics they look about right

Hi Geoff
Bernard is still making boats and fittings on a limited basis (due to his health) but I'm sure would be happy to chat about the best way to get the boat back on the water. His number is 01454 417803.
The boat looks like it came from Stevenage (SV on the transom) and was probably over powered by a CMB 45.

Cheers
Danny

Probably did come from Stevenage, but not anytime within the last 5 years as I've never seen it before...
