SUMMARY
Classic 3-pointer Hydroplane often to be seen racing post-war in and around North Norfolk.
DESCRIPTION
- Commissioned post-war and believed to one of six produced from an original set of Ventnor drawings
- Found in barn find condition in the 1990s as a complete but unfinished hull before being rebuilt by East Anglian Hydroplane expert Nigel Ringwood
- A build thought to exceed 1,600 hours and a credit to the craftsmen concerned
- Motivation now comes from a Wartburg triple-carburettor, three-cylinder engine
- The traditional woodwork is now superbly detailed and has recently been refinished
- Having not run in recent times, an element of recommissioning is to be expected
- With the purpose-built trailer, it's ideal for classic events in Europe or Classic Motor Boat Association gatherings, on or off the water
