My daughter saw and bought this yacht for me from an antique fair this weekend and I wonder if anybody can identify the yacht type or the approximate year.
It is 800 mm long 170 mm beam and 1250 bottom of keel to top of mast. I thought at first the hull was metal but now believe it to be grp, the sales are man made fabric maybe nylon, ad the deck is plywood with the mast and booms wood. The keel is metal with what looks like a lead shaped weight on the bottom and the rudder is brass.
I do not believe it has ever had R/C and looking at length of plastic hose on the bowsprit believe it has been an old time pond yacht.
Please has anybody got any ideas, I was thinking after rubbing it down repainting and tidying up with new rigging it will make a quite pretty ornament
All the best and thanks Chris G
