Small Boat Magazine

[Andy_G]

Hi, I am trying to locate a copy of a magazine called ''Small Boat'' from arround the 1960s.
The copy or coppies I am interested in featured a plywood yacht called a ''Hornblower'' designed by p.w.Blandford, and possibly appeared as a feature on the front cover.
Could anybody navigate me in the right direction to view a copy if one still exists.
Thanks in advance
Best Wishes

I remember the Hornblower being featured, (but I already said that) however it was not as early as the 1960s. I did not even start to get interested in boats until about 1972 or 73 so that's the earliest it would have been. I don't think it would have been any later that about 1977 or 78 either. Small Boat magazine was still around in 1977 (published by the Link House Group) but was taken over by PBO soon after. I cant remember for sure if it was Small boat I saw the article in, it could have been PBO as I read both from time to time. It is possible of course that both magazines featured the boat at different times. I note that another forum member has put the early 1970s on it.

Why not try a post on the Lysander Owners Association forum, this is the 6th thread you have started on these forums on the subject in about as many weeks.

<this is the 6th thread you have started on these forums on the subject in about as many weeks > at least it's not a brand of anchor.

Thanks again Vic,
I will try the Lysander association as you suggest and will also contact P.B.O. (a magazine I sometimes get myself).
I was just casting my net several times like a fisherman and hoping for the best.
Thanks everybody,all your help is appreciated.
