Hi folks I have just found your site re 8metre yachts. Here in Chichester we also have a number of 8 m and I wonder if they are of the same origin. Most of our boats here at the Chichester Canal Model Boat club came from Frensham Ponds Club or Southwater Dabblers. We have picked up many of the stragglers which now seem to be resident here in Chichester. We are trying to track down the design origin and the spec as looking on your site I have noticed a couple of pictures of your 8m boats and there is a strong similarity. Perhaps I can obtain some more info from you to help us. Ollie

Hi Phil Thanks for your reply. Yesterday I received an email from a member of the Chichester Canal Model Boat Club who had received a response to my posting on your site. How ,I don’t know. The bottom line is that I spoke to Robin Edgar, who gave me lots of important information re the 8m. Hopefully I will try and visit you all in Poole and stay down for a few days as I have a Motorhome which makes life easier. Myself I know Poole very well as I lived there until a few years ago and was a member of Poole Yacht Club. Some of our Club boats have come from Frensham who have now I believe don’t have any more 8m’s. We bought 4 boats the other month. I will try and get some of our other boat owners to visit Poole, hofefully this summer. Regards
