Falmouth Boat Co. fitted Biscay 36s from the 1970s until 1990. Does anyone know the whereabouts of the Biscay 36 moulds?

Welcome to the forum
Think you will find that FBC still have the moulds.

Thanks Tranona! In fact FBC doesn't and has asked if I can find one on their behalf. It's not easy!

Doesn't ' Old Varnish ' of these forums have a Biscay 36 - he may have some clues ?
As it doesn't strike me as a racing boat, might be worth asking on Scuttlebutt too.

I bet that's exactly what it is wanted for.
1970's design, 36 feet, keel hung rudder. It's a golden globe contender,
but not as fast as a Rustler 36.

I have a Rustler 36, but never thought of her as 'quick', more 'comfy' perhaps.

We've actually located the Biscay 36 moulds! The Cornish jungle has taken them over and they need TLC but they are an amazing find! Thank you all. Photos here: https://www.falmouthboat.co.uk/news/biscay-36-moulds-discovered-after-26-years

Are you/anybody going to do anything with them?

Hi BitBaltic,
Falmouth Boat Co. isn't sure if the owner would like to pass them on but in time we'll see - and will share any news that we have. The photos show that some serious tree surgery would be needed if anyone was to try and extract the moulds!

They re going to need some serious polishing, even assuming they are not beyond repair.

only just spotted this thread. Yes, I had a Biscay 36 'Ayesha'. It's a great design. The sort of boat that will always get you there. Perfect for the Golden Globe. Did well for me in the 2005 OSTAR
