Hi, Just purchased this lovely old boat. I did think it may be a Aerokits Sea Nymph, but clearly it is not. Anyone recognise it ?
Its about 18 inches long. Thanks John

another picture :-)

Look a bit like a Sea Nymph, but with more windows by Lesro about the same length at 18 1/4" also has similar lines of the Fairey Huntress but with a front split screen. May be built from a plan.

Hi John...Thanks for reply. It would appear to be kit built. I have found a few other photos of the same model, but as of yet no Identification..

Oh so you bought it!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrr B***** seller was a right pain.. I live by Hayling Island and I tried for 2 weeks to arrange a time to collect the boat from her.. she was never in!! and for £20 I said leave it out side i will put the money though the door.. but nope! right weird seller..
Anyway well done... I am sure it will make for a nice project..
-
Hiya..yup I bought it. Slightly unusual people O0 Anyway still don't know what manufacturer made it. Looks very similar to Norstar Boats.
-
LOL, unusal.. very much.. {-)
I want to sell some thing ..... but I don't want to take calls
I don't want to be in when I said I should be.
I offer to hold it for some one who has constantly called and tried to collect but sell it to the first holiday maker that calls.. <*<
Yep she really anoyed me.. I wanted it for my 10 year old to start to learn to restore, sand and paint and fit out.. hence why i was so keen.. So if any one has some thing like it eg old boat they never got round to sorting in wood that needs TLC ( learning on ) then PLEASE PLEASE let me know..
Hey ho.. I will calm down in a few years ;) not your fault.. stupid seller. Mind you the lot on Hayling Island are odd what with their webbed feed ;D

Just a thought, but how about making a Moonglow ? Vic Smeed plan.. Only needs a bout seven panels Very easy construction..I made one with my step daughter over a couple of evenings..We scaled it down 50%. Very quick to build simple nice model..And performed really well.I think plans are probably still available..Someone might have some used ones ?

looks good... it was the resto side I was trying to get him on as he can see results quickly..
but that one you mention i will look into that thanks
