Jason, that model, or one with the same coloured hull. which is an odd combination, as I built one years ago with black hull. the cream one was on ebay or some forum only a few days ago, cream hull, odd...………… but cannot find it now.

I watch the for sales a few times a day...…………..sad I know, but light relief...…….if I do see it i'll report it as being stolen to ebay and ask them to let it run until the police can take up the cudgel.

Sad to say, but I doubt the police will be at all interested. Which is why these scumbags can get away with stealing things and putting them on Ebay.


Years ago they wouldn't have dared advertise stolen goods publicly.

There was a similar one on sail on Ebay on 15 December but it was not a Branneran and it sold for only £12. The seller described it as looking like a matchstick model similar in colour to the boat that was stolen but in fact nothing like it. Is that the one you were thinking of ?
