Sad photos of an old classic
Came acroos this sad sight on the Isle of Wight.
Don't know the history of the boat - but it looked very much like a Magnum, deck was similar to say Maltese Magnum. Looked very much the 60's raceboat, no mechanicals left though. It had been in a field near to Gurnard.
Now it has turned up at a yard in Cowes - deck has gone - and It's fate is probably to be splashed for a RIB hull!

Whoever's yard that is, could learn a lot from a 5 s system,
The place looks what we would call in Scotland a Midden.

Don't know if I can even say the name on here - but not too difficult to guess!

Don't think anything has been done to the hull yet - just the deck removed in the last few weeks.
But seems to be common knowledge that it will be a 'new' RIB hull!
Like I say looks very much early Magnum, spray rails tie-in with that. But as to which boat I don't know.

If it's what I think it is, Ian Toll will be distraught!
So the rib in the foreground derives from a P25!....
And the Magnum will be the next 'new' thing from the CAD department of a well respected IOW Wankstain. well funny. Can't wait for the full jackanory on FIBnet.

From the images it seem a 28'.
Probably the former 1968's World Champion,Tornado(better knowed like Magnum Tornado or White Tornado),former the stern drives version of the Maltese Magnum of Don Aronow in 1967.
It sunk during the Cowes-Torquay in 1968,solded to Ian Toll,then recovered by the Royal Navy and rebuilded in the deck,renamed Magnum Tornado.
It's a piece of Offshore History.....

Yeah but manufactured to full ISO9000 standards though.
Wankstain .... I miss descriptive prose like that this side of the pond.

It's going to be a piece of Offshore History now by the looks of it.
Upturned waxed and raped, kind of history.

Maybe some evidence of some old patchworking?
It would be interesting to see the inside.

This boat was for sale in AdTrader last summer, located in the IOW. It was wrongly spelt as a Magnium. I tried to phone, but the wrong number was put in the advert. I even contacted Adtrader to pass my details on... I'm a glutton for boats needing loads of work and money spent on them!!

The two pictures show the same kind of green paint that you can see on the top rim of hull where the topdeck sits.

No sign of a side exhaust. Will be back at the yard next week (the Magnum is opposite a builder who is completing an Aluminium RIB that I designed) and will see what more I can find out.
Did not get to look in detail last time. Could see where the circular wing tanks were housed and that was about it.
