Title: Trying to identify this yacht -
Post by: Boomer on October 20, 2013, 12:31:43 am
Trying to identify this  international one metre a chap on another rc forum has inherited this boat and is asking for help in learning about his new boat. He is from Waterlooville in the UK. Thought you chaps might have a better shot at this than
we do on this side of the pond.

Thanks for any ideas.

Seems to have a lot of writing on the side, of which Firefly is the only word I can make out. Otherwise sorry cannot help - maybe a couple of more detailed pics ?
Conversely as you, sorry he lives in Waterlooville, if he has time to bring it down to our club, Gosport MYC at Walpole Lake, either on a Tues,Thur, or Sunday morning someone there may be able to enlighten you

regards

Mike
