Thought members might be interested to learn of an all-new aluminium speedboat that's just gone on the market.
The guy behind the project, James Oakley, contacted me some years ago seeking information on Simmonds boats, and I was happy to send him whatever I had. Now, some while later, he has sent me a link to the new website for Seacott Marine, including a video of their Shearwater 19 in action.
The influence of classic boats like the Simmonds and Albatross is clear to see from the lines and configuration of the hand-built Shearwater, which echoes so much of the appeal of the older boats.
