People seem to buy stuff I wouldn't touch with a bargepole, doubly so if there's a road trailer involved...

wineglass..... one of the old boys said something about a wineglass down there.... i didn't know what he was talking about. presumed it was past his bedtime or something..... i think the owner of the mirror 14 has now been named, just need to located. the wooden firefly is not wanted anymore, owner wants rid. is there and point in advertising the rest? maybe the enerprise, as that is almost complete, just no sails.

Alternatively the option to burn the boat and collect some beer tokens may be preferable to burning the lot.

Winging it, i'll send you a message about the parts tomorrow.  Don't suppose you're going to the Steve Nicholson are you?

I have almost everything for a marauder, times two.  I scrapped two rotten hulls so have all the rest of the kit.  The white Marauder sails were sold two years ago, but still not collected.  I do have some red M14 sails though. Plus booms, masts, rudders etc....
the same, but different...

Unless they changed the Mowgli's transom (which was unscooped), then I don't think it is that.

The French-looking boat may be a 'Mowgli' if it's a bit small for a 420. I seem to remember drooling over one at the Boat Show back in the very early 70s!  Cry

The Swallow is 12 foot, so the white boat must be similar, so not a Wineglass.

The Duo is a new one on me, Dougal - any info?

Almost certainly (as in, I'm certain) that the Blue boat is a Mirror 14 built from a Bell kit. Without knowing the dimensions (when is there never an ebay tape measure to hand when you want one) it is hard to tell what the white one is.... possibly a Duo OR - depending on the dimensions, a Wineglass. However, I'm thinking Duo as the Ferry was one of their popular locations way back when!
