another ebay mystery boat

[Obscured by clouds]

I spotted this on ebay and it piqued my interest since it looks a bit like a N18, one of which I already have, even though it was quoted as being 20'

I emailed the seller and he sent a couple more, one of which made me think '18', the other made me think 'that bow is too raked'.

so any takers here?

When I first saw this - 20ft or so (allowing for the ebay tape measure) slightly raked bow, round deep bilge, etc, I thought Falcon. But then I saw it was in GRP, and as far as I know all Falcons were mouldies. But I could be wrong.

Interesting call Nick!

It does have that Falcon look......like it isn't quite 'right' somehow...

I am not aware that there were any glass falcons made, but towards the end Fairey did give permission for most of their designs to have a mould taken, so it is certainly possible.

Anybody ever seen a grp falcon?

The Falcon was altogether a deeper boat, and not an 18. Sorry, can't be positive on it, though.
