Hi I am just doing some investigating! I am a Toy enthusiast and currently own No.144 and getting my hands on 179 soon. I noticed on a website at http://www.pegasus18.com/dinghies/index.php/2008/01/03/toy-117/ that Mike Hankins owned Toy 140 'The famous cuckoo built by Tiptree'. In the late 1980s I ...

Hi

I'm a old Toy sailor and have renewed enthusiasm having just bought an old boat. Keen on getting my hands on old bits if anyone has them lying around.

PM me on here.......

I am trying to work out how to replace the wood without cutting huge holes in the hull.... Hmmmmm.... I'm guessing it is a strengthening area, basically a plank...

I loved the boat, so have been looking for another for a while. I know the boats pretty well- but ha...
