Looks fantastic...

Anyone travelling from the Edinburgh direction to Wiltshire or there abouts any time the week after next?

Hi

I've bought this and just picked it up today. It looks in great condition and joins my expanding collection of old toot!

Interestingly it has a number stamped into the transome, No 7. It couldn't be that old surely? The MS site says that Plycraft stopped making these in 1962 so its the same age as me :)

I need a sail though, any suggestions?

Cheers

John

Ahha - this one - no need to send me a pic, then - see other thread!

I'd not thought she was that old, but it would explain why she is a little different to some of the others, and if Plycraft did only build them till 1962, she would be a low number, as production past prototype stage only began in 1961.

Peter Matthews may have more info over on the Minisail forum.

I have been after a Minisail for ages, I purchased Aquabat because I was assured it was a Monaco, all the decent ones are miles away, like this one.

Well....it would have to be a pretty good one for £250 to be worth it!
