...have a look around their boat park and see if theres an old Contender sitting there falling to bits, please . I need a Contender hull, all shall be reviled at a later date. Any condition will do, PM me if you have any luck.

Cheers

try e mailing david spy at this link

 

http://www.yachtmodels.co.uk/

 

he sailed contenders for years and was a boatbuilder untill he discovered his models were very sought after and easier on his back when making !

Check his website , models are awesome.

He had a project on a contender years ago and was going to make it into a skiff, last I saw many many years ago was he had started to adapt for wings , but halted it , it may still be kicking around .

 

worth asking

this pic can be seen as part of the 'best contender pic ever' competition!  I'm not sure it's a winner, but it is food for thought!
