BP 'DYNAPLANE' pacesetter

[xxxscimitarxxx]

l am the fortunate....but poor owner of the dynaplane vessel 'pacesetter'.....genuine Eugene clemence/williamson design high speed monohull.....originally powered by rolls royce gnome gas turbine ....achieved 103mph from just 800 hp......this is a 42ft all welded aluminium vessel.....built by british hovercraft comp UK 1979

lm looking for a good home for her.....her restoration is beyond my means.......new turbine and refit required......make me a sensible offer for this unique vessel

Can't help you with a buyer - but how about posting pics of her.... you never know, it may just spawn some interest

[xxxscimitarxxx]

here are a few pics.....not pretty.....will have to scan in some of her former glory

that really is a special that had me gazing for an hour :cool:

[xxxscimitarxxx]

definately a one off.....undoubtedly the fastest dynaplane ever built

looks excellent..... could look amazing with some work!
what sort of costs would be involved with re-fit? ( i don`t have the money, but would like to know what it would cost)....
good luck with sale.

if you shopped around for a time expired gnome engine....plus basic refit.....you wouldnt get any change out $40k....it would never be a gin and tonic boat......3 bolster set up.....no soft furnishings.....l dreamed of a single turbine....bout 2000 hp.....twin screw splitter box.....double arnesons......and 130mph.....oh well......dream on

[crash]

:) yep.... i know the feeling..... :)

[xxxscimitarxxx]

have found a rolls royce gnome turbine 1200 hp......control panel.....gearbox......watch this space......100mph ++++

[crash]

WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cool! keep us updated! i`d love to know how this goes!
good luck mate!!! :) ;)

To the fortunate owner of the Dynaplane...do you still have it and what are you asking if so.
