Hi has anyone got experience of these boats as I am thinking of buying one.
The boat that made the biggest impact on me in a lifetime of shore-based interest in classic pocket boats was your Oystercatcher 16 at the London Boat Show (Earl’s Court) in mid/late 1980s. The interior was perfection personified. If I could find/build an Oysterman 22 with similar interior ... How can I reach you? Couldn’t find you on internet. Hope this finds you in good spirits.Hi everybody,
I am Bryan Gibson, owner of Mayfly Classic Boats, creator of the Oystercatcher 16, 20 and 27. I also re-developed the Oysterman 22. Maybe a few of you remember me exhibiting at Southampton, London, the caravan and camping how at the NEC , The East Coast Boat Show at Ipswich, Brest 92 and many other venues and boat shows between 1992 and 2010. I also wrote in Boating Business Magazine as Bilge Rat, exposing all the 'fun and frolics' of the UK boat building industry from the inside.
If any of you out there wish to know the truth about my boats, just ask.
My moulds are still in existence, I just need a little enthusiasm ( orders) to return my boats back into production.
Bryan Gibson.
