If it's "Bredette" you are looking for, then the drawing was in Radio Control Boat Modeller May/June 1993

It should not be to much of a problem to make one from ticas link.  :-)) .
Or, it looks a lot like Richard Webbs Pilot Boat that was a Free plan in a Mag.

Do not have those mags to hand but can see no mention of it for those months or any othet that I have details for.
However Glynn Guest did bring a book out "Small Radio Control Boats" Isbn 1-85486-171-9 which has the Bredetta in and 8 others. (It is a great Book)
You can get on Amazon but when I tried they did say they had it in but then cancelled my order and refunded, I would try Ebay.
A few on but one here for £5.66
