Hi,
I have a 68" long model of a steam drifter, it is named 'Doris' with the number YH70. Although it represents a typical steam drifter from Great Yarmouth I cannot find any records of a YH70, I have found records of a boat named 'Doris' but this was a trawler built by Cochrane. It looks quite similar to a batch of steam drifters built by Cochrane e.g City of Aberdeen, but it is not identical.
I cannot find any models, plans or kits of a similar size. Does anybody know anything about the history of this model or the design that the boat was built to?
It looks fantastic on the water and sails beautifully. The quality of the build is a real credit to the original builder.
bw,
