Re: Info on 60\'s boats

I have a Danish boat called a Coronet - the reason I'm saying this is because there are several scandanavian websites with info about my boat and that hails from the 60's ... if you haven't tried yet then search for windy and norway and take it from there?

I'm sure a search on Google (http://www.google.com/) will show results for the other names

Hello Bernard, I have owned three( Four) Norwegian boats. Two of them were built on an island off Norway in 1966. These were used as postboats.One is fitted with a Volvo 95a 1800cc single carb and driving a Volvo 100 outdrive. They both have the builders plaque at the bottom of the widscreen. This surround is topped all round with teak. One boat was a Windy.I have owned 140 odd boats in 35 years. Twenty odd of these have been wooden,built by some of the most famous yards in the Uk and USA. The rest have been GRP from different companies up to 65ft down to 13ft 6in. Best Wishes Marinejob
