I'll sell you my wife & kids, but you just can't afford that brochure.
I love the look of these '70's & '80's boats. Not just the Fletchers, but the Pictons, Phantoms, Rings etc. Perhaps it's because they were what I lusted after as a kid. The more rounded 'American' look just doesn't do it for me and as for that cream gelcoat...
I've got quite a few of these early brochures. I'll post a list & if anyone's interested I'll get scanning. Unfortunately no Phantom or Ring, Doh!

I've still got all the old images, but if you want to mail me the originals to gallery@mattyorke.com at 600x600 or greater resolution, I'll put you in the new gallery.
The old gallery is still here

Me too....Datelines, Crusaders, Concorde blah, blah, blah.....metalflake Glastrons......Alans Hydrostream etc. anything retro looking really.
I guess you could almost call them classics but I doubt that the proper classic brigade would recognize them as their not wooden or aluminium.

A good idea....a sort of history section.
Formula have a link from their site to all their old brochures don't they.
