History
Built by Outboard & Hydroplane Services as a three point 'Kneeler' 9ft racing hydroplane powered by a Konig outboard. Believed to have been raced by Tom Mansell who had a distinguished racing career in the 50's and 60's. When restored it carried the racing number 288 which was allocated to Len Melly the owner of Outboard & Hydroplane Services. Has been demonstrated at ralies across Europe and the UK in the past but is now a static display craft. GH Jan 2012
