I was looking on YouTube for some info about the Sea Rover for Will when he first bought his restoration project boat, and one of the videos started to show a video about a large size Sea Queen......but it was called Sea Rover!
Confusing? I thought so, until the builder explained that his Sea Rover (which was in fact a Sea Queen) was a model of the actual boat that won an off-shore powerboat race in 1960 or 1961.
The real name of this surprise off-shore winning boat was "Sea Rover".
When Aerokits had this same off-shore winning powerboat boat in their range - why was it called Sea Queen? - and not Sea Rover?
I can only assume that they already had a boat called Sea Rover in their range, and rather than changing the name they left the model already called Sea Rover unchanged - but named their model of the full size Sea Rover - Sea Queen.
There is a possibly that this YouTube item was made before 12 midday on April 1st - but if this info is correct - it is an interesting story
