Mystery 30 (Cornish Crabber boat)

[Seegull]

Hi All,
Does anyone have any information or experience with the Mystery 30 yacht?
I see there was a Mk1 and Mk2.
But can't find much about them.

There is an owners association for the 35...but for some reason they excluded the 30.

Cheers

Originally called Link 30. It was on my list but I couldn't find one in budget at the time. Not much help but I think YM did a review of a Link 30.

It was a design that never really "took off". The intention was to build a one design fleet in the Solent but the boat turned out more expensive than expected and had a lot of competition from more sporty boats David Thomas designed it and his son Peter took it to Cornish Crabbers when he took that over, but don't think they built many. Very different boat from the Jones designed Mystery

Well that explains it.

But also means it's no longer a Mystery!

Probably not connected... But I saw an open 30ft boat boat in a harbour in the Isl de Re. Used for day trips? It oused Crabber features and I wonderedif it was from them.

Yes I was. Seems a bit of an odd ball boat....
