ARC Motor Cruiser

[Peter Morgan]

I have a 20ft ARC Motor Cruiser built in Littlehampton, UK. I have turned up a thread from ianc1200 regarding his 30ft Everyman Class built at the same facility. It is an older thread, so am unsure in anyone is still around. Basically I am in a restoration process of my ARC, but have very little information regarding the boat itself. Any historians out there that can help me regarding information?
Thank you, Pete @ Indian River Boat Works, Clinton CT USA

I have quite a lot of info on the smaller ARC's. A friend & myself went to see an ex ARC boatbuilder a couple of years ago and he lent us his suitcase full of photographs taken at the yard in the late 40's to mid 50's, which we scanned and made up CDr's of for Everyman owners. Your ARC is almost certainly one of the craft taken over for display at the 1950 or 51' USA boat shows; we certainly have photo's of the Everyman on route, I'll look to see if we have the 20' cruiser, if there is a photo it has to be your boat.

My e mail address is ianc@binnacle-design.co.uk perhaps I can slowly send you photo's of interest

I would assume this has to be your boat on the left!

I have much better images of other versions of the Cruiserman I can send

Thank you for your response. The 20' has the lines of my boat, but a little difficult to judge from the picture. Please feel free to contact me direct at: petermorgan1@comcast.net.
I am excited to make the connection.
