    Derrick was one of three brothers who operated Sawley before selling it to BW.

    I knew Derrick quite well, often discussing his concrete and wooden boats (I have his concrete/polymer recipe here somewhere)

    Thanks for that,  i saw this one the other day near Watford and it looks like the same shaped hull for sure with the square transom so maybe the ones i liked were an evolution of these.   I wonder if any of the fero-cement ones are still going?

  2. Thanks for all the replies.

    They aren't Dartline, i have had a couple of those, or harborough, so we are down to 
    Swanline by Horace greeaves or
    Trentcraft Davison brothers

    I have looked online for the publications quoted but failed (as usual) to find anything, does anyone have a link please?

    I reckon to have seen half a dozen of these from devizes up to the Trent and Mersey so there must have been a fair few around, the one at devizes had an sr2 but don't know if it was original.

    They do look to have low headroom, but the built for comfort or speed question will never be resolved :-)
