McLachlan 22???

[Jacek Krym]

Hello, I'm new here so I have a few questions about my boat... In 2011 I bought a McLachlan type boat length over 22 feet with mahogany cabin( pilothouse). All I found about this type is length 18ft and RNLI lifeboat. Nothing about 22 ft. This boat is my " life" project and I would like to know more about it.

Okay, half an hour of googling says to try searching "William Osborne owners group " (the builder rather than the designer) - they're on Facebook

Well done for your detective work and application to the task!

Award this man a Forum Gold Star, and a virtual pint or two from the OP.

The RNLI probably still has records and drawings for the McLachlan boat in their archives - you could try contacting them perhaps?

In a previous life I worked in their design office for a few years, and I remember seeing some info then (35 years ago!) about the boat.
