Saving Old Seagulls

A van kitted out for Seagull race meets . I love it !

Definitely had wet feet

Some fine ship handling in that video then a mad scramble of passengers and vehicles as soon as the ramp came down , excellent !

Get this guy on the case

These were built by Heyland Marine in the 1980s . This was the Seagull option . They also did a Yanmar inboard / shaft drive or outboard option . I had the outboard version as a commercial fishing vessel , it was a very safe and able boat .

Excellent ! Thanks for sharing

I wonder what the mk 1 and 2 were ?

There is a tilted tank FV broken for spares on ebay if anyone is looking for parts . It's not mine !

Good to see someone has snapped it up

Is it already gone ? I can't find it

Cheers I'll have a look at that . I now feel reassured that my tiller is adequate

I'm doing a tentative restoration on a little forty amongst other projects . I'm a bit concerned about the tiller length , I feel it is rather short at 5" . Once it's complete it might be out in public with other little forties and I don't want it feeling inadequate ! Can anyone reassure me on ...

I can't survive without my bacon and eggs , I'll need to source an alternative material

Nice ! Thanks for the pics , do you have a patent on these ?

I have 2 seagulls to try on that boat , an ED 102 and a series 90 . I alternate between a Honda and a Tohatsu , both 6 hp four stroke for daily use . Because it's a displacement hull my top speed will be limited but on a good day I can achieve 6 knots with the 6 horse

Won't win any races with this one
