Why don't you offer it to the Hovercraft Museum, they could use it for the younger members to work on

Gavin, Not perhaps what I wanted to hear but it is helpful information. Thanks, Ian

Ideal for a school or scout group!

I hate to say it Ian but such a craft has no place any more either for racing or for cruising.
If someone has their own field in which they can play with it then they may be interested.

Over the last few years, the design of craft has moved on in leaps and bounds, especially with cruising craft with much emphasis being put on low noise, freeboard, flotation and overall reliability.

With respect, it may be better if you disassemble the craft and sell off any usable parts. Although I suspect, knowing the design of that craft, there will be very few.

Sorry.

Twenty five years ago my son acquired a constructors guide by Jeremy Kemp from the Hoverclub. Over the following five years construction progressed with much help from the local secondary school. I estimated that at the time my son left school the project required less than five man days to complete. The hovercraft has sat unfinished in our garage for the past twenty years. Our son has agreed that it is time that it found a new home.
Accordingly we would be interested to hear from any enthusiasts willing and able to complete this project. Our preference is to find an appropriate home for all the time and effort that went into the project over the years, rather than recover the historic cost. Photographs and a description of the current status of the craft are available upon request
