Hi Ivor,
The last time these molds were used was by Trident Marine at Portchester where I live. They made 9 Scanyacht 290 hulls altogether and fitted them out to a very high standard incorporating many changes and improvements. The molds were aquired direct from LM by Scanyachts who used to deal heavily in LMs at that time. Considering that these molds date from the 1980s?? and have been well used by several manufacturers it makes you wonder how many more hulls could be produced from them. It would be fantastic to see the marque revived again. Don't think I'll bid though!

Regards

Mick
