I wouldn't say that Gav  :D
I just recognised the sunken duct and checked with some pictures to confirm.
Looks like it might be worth a look? Decent freeboard and the specs state a 1.25m duct - although it's semi recessed position would perhaps restrict airflow. The engine looks to be mounted a fair way forward of the stern to improve the CG?

The four seater looks to be a Transfutur Windlord of French origin. Apparently designed by Robert Trillo - and originally powered by a Citroen engine. I have some pictures of when I think it was stored at the Museum. Looks to be the same craft judging by the flat four engine.
