July 18, 20233 yr Very old IOM, probably pre-2000. No numbers or ID on hull. Hull is GRP and well made. Bought in early 2000s from chap in Portsmouth. Stern carries marking 'Oxford Model Boat Club'. The hull has a distinct flare forward. Probably most distinctive features are the 7 deck holes (not including radio pot) and wide stern. Would be very grateful for any ideas as to the design.
July 19, 20233 yr Author Hi John, The bow is Triple Crown like but the stern is very different. See attached TC plans. Thanks for reply though. Peter TRIPLECROWN Feb04.pdf
July 19, 20233 yr Triple Crown has several distinguishing features - the bow flair and max beam around section 7 - when I built mine, I squared off the transom rather than following that Gadget/Widget profile. John
July 20, 20233 yr Author Hi John, That's very interesting. I didn't think about someone modding the seemingly unnecessarily complex TC stern. From the very tidy interior of the hull I'm pretty sure it was made on a male mould. I wonder if there was a history of male moulded modified hulls? Anyway, sometime I'll make some templates of the TC sections and see if they marry up with the hull. Thanks again, Peter
