Here are the pictures of the Cyprus boat, hopefully Boatbird can tell us if she is still there; Regards, Tramontana. |

Hi Tramontana It looks like Tonclass has identified this one as Cutlass by elimination. Rgds, Christian. |

Just a thought here - Could it be the 'Ferocity' I wonder??

Hi Pioneer Whilst bowing to your superior knowledge of FPBs my observation is that Ferocity had a different shaped bows, with far more flare from the chines up to deck level (i.e. a broader foredeck), more like the beamier Braves, and a strake running from just behind the towing eye all the way to the stern, between the chine and deck (which could have been removed). I prefer this one as a Scimitar Class. Regards, Christian. |

Re Cutlass?hopefully if we can persaude Boatbird to have a break from bronzying in lovely Paphos, she may still be in the area as it was 5 yrs ago when I saw the boat she may well be up and running by now, the stern platform which was still fittted when I saw her had a nice curved profile underneath if that help's Tonclass, (yes I can still remember ducking out of the way of the lumps of carbon out of the funnel on a Ton when we opened the Napier Deltic's up after a period of slow running.)
