Excellent article.

I saw (what I assumed to be) a Campbell/Wright 21 cat at Windermere in the early 90's. What made it interesting was that it was powered by a small block running through one of those strange Volvo Speedmaster type drives.

It wasn't terribly fast (mid eighties as it seemed the X dimension was far too low. It was called 'The Witch of Endor'. Ever heard of that one?

Lorne Campbell and Graham Stevens (Flying Fish) on this forum have been in touch with regard to this project which has helped big time.

Im sure my old Campbell was Superficks number 24 although before we thought to was Paralytic,
The final number was C68 (Atech International) Now here in Scotland.
Paralytic looked different along the sides.

gazza, I am not too sure either, but have sent a few emails out, so hopefully it will be sorted out soon on this forum.

When Scott bought the A-Tech cat (without engine) from Tony Hamilton I ended up going into with the purchase 50 / 50, just to sell on - which we did to Gazza.

Loose track of the Campbell cats - but I thought it was originally the Alastair McNulty Pride of De Vere boat?

This cat has now retired to the roof of a Marine Workshop on the west coast of Scotland, painted in their colours,

Is that a good or a bad thing?

There was a lot of work requied the rot had started, so its maybe a good thing instead of laying under a cover rotting away for the next 10 years,
Mine was the C68 ex Tony Hamilton boat.
