July 21, 20223 yr I am helping a friend rebuilding a one meter model with Mallard written on the stand. It sailed at Water Mead Model Boat Club. It is thin wood construction The sails have RG or RIG on them, look to me modern material and it is number 50. The RC bits are digital so maybe its abour 2000, but we are only guessing We think that it might be home built from a plan. Do you have any information that would help us get this boat sailing again and can we still get parts? Many thanks,
July 22, 20223 yr Hi Nigel, My initial thought is this could be a Triple Crown. I believe it was designed by Mark Dicks and the line plans were available via the MYA. Looks similar in lines to my driest yacht (below).

July 22, 20223 yr Author Thanks Nick, I have just found a date on the foot of the mainsail (very feignt) of 10th April 1999 and WMBC so it all fits in. Ill contact West Mead MBC near Aylesbury to find out more. The rig has RG or RIG as the maker in green and red. The mast and spars are all aluminium. Many thanks for all your help. It really is appreciated, Nigel Tailyour
