Title: IOM yacht Slingshot
Post by: Eddy Matthews on July 25, 2006, 09:28:15 pm
Hi all,

Apparently there was an article on an IOM yacht called "Slingshot" in Marine Modelling magazine about 1-2 years ago, does anyone know which issue this was in? Or better still, if anyone has a copy that they could sell me, or scan?

Regards
Eddy

I searched the MMI on-line archive back to Nov 85 - sorry but not occurrences of slingshot :(

Hmmm.... I have to admit that it was "secondhand" info, so perhaps it was in Model Boats magazine? I do know that it was definately within the last couple of years though...

Thanks for taking the time to do a search Doug, to be honest I didn't know the facility existed on the MMI website!

Hi Eddy,

Slingshot was the name given by the builder of your yacht, and not the original version as featured in MMI.

The article was by Tony Watts, I think it would have been 2004, but I will have a look later to see if I can spot the item for you.
