I'm rebuilding a Robert Tucker"Mystic" 21, built on the Isle of Wight at this yard in the 1960's. and trying to trace the history.
I can't find anything about this boat builder, who built many ply boats in the 1960's , especially to Robert Tucker designs. Has any one any info on the yard? prehaps someone worked there.All help much appreciated.

They went out of business many years ago. They were at East Cowes.

I believe that Nobby Clark & his wife emigrated to Oz but I'm not sure about that.

They also built the Caprice, another Robert Tucker design.

I know that Robert Tucker is no longer alive but believe that his son still designs boats. Someone may be able to lead you to him.

C&E Clark (Cowes) also build some limited run boats of Uffa Fox designs. One in particular waqs the Avenger class (some six of which I think were built) for the first of class, built under the sponsorship of the Helmsman magazine, was for my father and we have photos of Uffa planing down the skeg which had not been built to his exact design.
