The name saga continues...

I have more info on the boat name and make. After chatting with people on the cmba.co.uk forum, and from checking out various boats on eBay, I have found out that my boat is either a Fletcher V139 or a V149. The V139 is just under 14ft, so I’m thinking it’ll be a V149, but it’s just a case of measuring it up and confirming, which won’t be for another week as I’m off to Skegness tomorrow!

They even supplied a picture of the V139 from the original brochure. It’s apparently from the late 60s! Unbelievable. It’s in fantastic condition considering. Just think, when this boat was made nobody had yet landed on the moon, and England were current football world champions…
