Hi all I'm interested to find out more about the boats designed by John Askham, I know he is responsible for designing the amazing nelson 34 and 40 vessels, and then carried on the nelson type evolution with the Weymouth 32, 34 and the 42, from there I understand came the Humber 35, which is a redesign of the Weymouth32/34 hull, but what came after that, I've seen an " Askham 35" advertised on the Internet, it did look strikingly like the Weymouth 34, and I've also seen an " Askham 45" , both very much like the nelson types, very commercial looking vessels, but I have read bits of a bullet range of vessels he has also designed, are these like the other designs which are clearly a continuation of the nelson type hull? , does anyone have any info on these boats as seems to be very little information about them?, I used to own a Weymouth 32 called Kwester 3, a very seaworthy vessel, and I'm now looking for a Weymouth 34, Im curious about the rest of the vessels that came from the same designer.
 
There is an askham 35 in the middle of the river itchenor opposite shamrock quay marina, based on the Humber 35 hull, not sure if its fir sale though but I did a few sea miles in it.
