hi i have just bought a 6m yacht that was built by russell faraday in 87 anyone know anything about this builder as it would be good to find out some history about the yacht , the sail number is k903 , thanks tony

I have researched the 6metre Register and the sail number quoted is listed to another well known boat and not to a boat by Russell Ferriday. I have looked through the register and there is only one boat listed as being built by him. It is a red hulled Tern designed by John Lewis previously owned by Richard Uttley called Vermillion under sail no 887. If you have the certificate with the boat please post it to me and I will get changed over into your ownership. If the boat is not registered it will need measuring before formal certification can be issued. Gosport is a club in your area where this can be carried out. If I remember back Russell sold a number of Tern hulls but most went unmeasured and registered.

Hi Bill , thanks for your reply my boat has a blue hull & is called blue moon , I did not get any paperwork with it so I think that I must have one of the unmeasured hulls , thanks for your help regards tony
