Falcon: the interior

Hi James,

The image here is of Hawk-Eye, which is known to be an early boat with a sail number below #150.

It appears to show an identical threshold plate to yours, with its narrowing slot which, together with a set of ferules, is designed to allow dropping the keel to various depths.

You'll see in the Description Section that later Reedcraft and Moore's boats have a cast aluminium handle that sits neatly in a rubber sealed seating.

If it is Tony Ayre's old boat, you'll need to confirm evidence of "the 2 non standard winches fitted in the cockpit" which I can't see in your photograph and the "two large lumps of pig iron, fitted in a framework each side of the keel".

Possibly the picture of the name on the bow would then settle it.

tony is convinced its his old boat the pigiron conferms it

Hi James,

Those two images certainly tie in with Tony's description.

Oh, I love it when we find a long lost boat. So satisfying!

(Time for bed, I think!)

Looks like you have some work do. Lee posting so we can follow along.

Will do its going to take me a while to extricate her but as soon as work commences I will post it up here
