Can anyone identify this glass fibre hull please?

33″ long x 11″ beam

It could be the Falmouth working boat from Orion Mouldings. That hull is 33'' long but you don't mention length- it might help to pin it down. There aren't that many producers of grp model boat hulls so it shouldn't be hard for someone to identify it.

Hi Ian – Looks as though you got it in one! Many thanks. All I need now is some plans/pictures and I can get started!

Hello Peter,

I was pretty sure that was what it was. Doing a quick search for 'Falmouth work boat' throws up all sorts of sail plans and pictures, including a sail plan by Kingston Mouldings, as that gent produced the hulls (I think) for the Falmouth Maritime Museum working models which you can sail on an indoor pond with fans. He might be prepared to let you have a copy – better be quick though as Robin Whitmarsh is winding down Kingston Mouldings.

There's also quite a nice poster with a sail plan and constructional details. It's about the first thing that comes up.

Thanks again Ian – I'm hot on the trail now!

That's good. I must apologise- your dimensions were there all the time, just me who couldn't see for looking!
