Thanks, much better showed whole range of the Puma yachts......and the one I was looking for. Although the details of Hillyards leaves much to be desired......almost completely wrong?

Aye, the only Hillyard that they mention is the Moonfleet 36 - Moonfleet 36 — Sailboat Guide

I wonder why no mention of the older timber classes?

I see what you mean about Pumas - there is a comprehensive range here!
Sailboat Guide — Discover your dream boat
Were they built in Iberia?

Something went wrong at Hillyards just as the classic wooden boat interest was taking off Hillyards spend thousands on a complete new boat,in grp really dated even then and not promoting their wooden boat building and repair

I remember visiting the yard of William Osborne in about 1990 or 91 when they were building the Severn class lifeboats - I think they were pretty much next door to David Hillyard?
Here is an interesting thread about Osbornes -
William Osborne History.
Yes ajoiningin 1990 I was leaving what had been the yard the other side of Hillyards to go to Galicia
