If you have a look at the Cygnus website you will find that there are still some details of their boats.  I get the impression that the GM32 moulds are now owned by Heards, who are boatbuilders in the same area.  Don't know whether they have a website, haven't tried.

Ray,
It is mentioned on the Cygnus website (www.cygnusmarine.co.uk) that Ernie Cooke was killed in a road accident on 11th May.

righto well me dad went and had alook and liked it so... heres some pics, ( sorry they are abit big )















As you can see its a nice size next to me TT fishing boat, the new one has geared motor nice big brass i think prop, servo and batt, just needs reciver and im not to sure if it needs a speed controler not looked yet lol he got it for a good price. It also has lights and radar thingy that is ment to work but havnt tryed it yet, when i can get to the model shop that sells the specktum sets im going to get two one for my tito and one for his new fishing boat :)

This fishing boat dos bob about alot imo so not sure how its going to look on the lake, only time will tell, just needs cleaning up and should be a good boat, it dos look well made i.e the hull and things, so credit to Models by design, i may get one of the newer ones later on as they seem nice models

All the best and thanks for the help guys
