pretty sure the hull is albatross although 20 foot sounds big, I was not aware that they were sold to the mod, have a look at the contacts page on www.faireyownersclub.co.uk you'll find the email address of a bloke called Tony HH, he's got an albatross and will be able to tell you more I suspect.

just thort of some more stuff, they were built in Norfolk I think, might be wrong, ford cortina engine was kent block, not sure if crossflow or pre cross flow, depends on age of boat I guess

currently 2 albatross for sale on http://www.boats-for-sale.co.uk/find-a-boat.asp

hi I had an email
"Sorry cannot tell you what it is but...

It is not an Albatross - the wrong shape and far too big. A friennd had one
and yours is nothing like it I'm afraid!
Best of luck"

I looked at the fairey Owners club website. And while the bow does have the same shape the rear is completely different. The back of my boat has a stern drive and the engine is just under the two doors on the back of the boat. yet all the fairey boats have a propshaft and an engine in the middle. The fairey's also seem to have a bilge where mine is flat bottomed.
Still Thankyou for your help, all is very helpfull and welcome.

thankyou

Ian
