Ashley, it might be worth contacting Phil Smith’s son.

Colin Smith has come up trumps and not only has the plan, but remembers sailing one at Queens Park golfing boating pond. It’s a tethered line boat. Not shown in the illustrations is the little post that you tied to the central pole.

Going to be tricky getting a pole in the pond at bushy…

Thank you Tony for the heads up.
- Colin has a big list of all the Veron kits and plans … a great resource, and one which I will have to study very closely!

Colin has come up trumps and provided me with the Skidboat plan as per the original wot was included with the kit.

I have accordingly made a start. Builders foam. Cheap, easy. Actually, although the biggest part of the build, this IS the easy bit. Fitting out will be tricky, squashing everything in and hiding it.. Ashley

Colin. FORTUNATELY the thing does not seem to have been a tether design, the other Colin obv sailed their’s as a tether but that may be because they had the use of a tether pond set up to hand, and therefore made use of it…?

Anyway. Ordered more stuff and most of it is here now so am doing a bit of fibreglassing this afternoon. 9 hour slow set so be ready tomorrow.

Further progression on this build will continue in a haphazard fashion on my “today’s boating” thread if anyone was interested. Ashley
