Hi Really interesting pics on your google site! I guess they are right when they say too much sun is bad According to Phil Simons in the same yard there should also be an Elco and a Scimitar class boat! Mark |

Christian PM'd me to tell me this- any ideas on the shape of the boats I am looking for? I hope to return to Limassol next week but it may be the week after! |

If there is an Elco in the same yard does anyone know what condition it's in? Might it be saveable and are there any known examples in the UK. I assume not, unless you know something diffrent........

Think theres half a burnt Elco in a siding somewhere. If any more are known to lets hear about them. A rare beast indeed if there are any

Hi Boatbird It's a Higgins (rather than an Elco) and it looks just like this, courtesy of Ron Young. We were wondering if she has any markings visible to help find her original ID. The other boat is believed to be a Scimitar Class, there's a section about them on the forum and on the home page under Select A Boat. Regards, Christian. |
