What type of Shetland do I own?

[TimyboyB]

Hello,

Can you help me finding out what type of shetland I have? I can't find out by myself till now.

Please let me know what you think.









Kind regards, Tim

A quick look makes me think a 535. Do you have a HIN or production number?

When I search for a 535 on Google I only find boats with a kind of sink and a cabinet in the cabin. Also the bow has a diffrent shape. I think mine is a little smaller then a 535 since the cabinet is not there. Also the escape hatch is missing and the shape of the wall in the back is diffrent. The window is not round like the 535 but aybe it is self-made.
There is no number orso. I can only find a round plate what looks like the shetland brand plate and a fiber producer orso, no numbers.

is there a number on that round/oval plate?

I will try again to decode the content but I'm affraid it is not possible since they painted it white.... Let you know soon.

I don't think it is a Shetland going by the hull

Could it be a mayland?

Hello All,

I found out that the plate says: the ship & boat builders national federation. there is also a 4 digit number on it.
Another plate says: Fiberglass by F.A.M.E. Ltd

Any idea?

I asked the britishmarine.co.uk and they can give me this:

Manufacturer: Concordette Developments Ltd
Address: Barley Hall Works, Barley Lane, Goodmoyes, Essex, United Kingdom
Boat Type: Concord
Length: 7'-6"
Water type: Estuarial
Max persons: 3 people

Any Idea if they still exist? I like to have more info because of registering it.

I have a very similar boat, although a much less well equipped version.

(I have failed to place a picture of it, how do you do it?)
I also needed information about it so as to register it (I live in in France.)
I got exactly the same answer as you from the Brish Marine association (my id plate said : "The ship and boat builders national federation, cert no 7005".
Yet the info can't be correct as it reads :
Company name: Concordette Developments Limited
Address: Barley Hall Works, Barley Lane, Essex
Boat Name: Concorde
Length: 7’-6”
Water type: Estuarial
Max persons: 3 people
Weight: 348lbs
Date approved: 18/06/65

At least, the length is incorrect (it actually is 15 ft). This is a bit strange!
Did you find more about yours?
