Title: One Metre restoration
Post by: rnli12 on January 22, 2020, 04:21:48 pm

Hi,
Well I was given this among a plethora of other stuff but wondered on some ideas for the deck? ply/dacron etc and can anyone identify what hull it is?
The planked hull and carbon fibre keel and rudder are in good condition so any help appreciated.
Regards,
Rich

Sarik Hobbies sell the Nimbus Mk3 plan which looks very similar to your model, with the exception of the material used for the keel. Reading the information, it was featured in Model Boats magazine February 2005.

A lovely model and wishing you every success with the restoration.
