I know it's a different tug, but my Father was Chief Engineer on the Graygarth in the 70s, based in Milford Haven. She was one of a couple of the harbour tugs that were converted to fire fighting ability.

Hi Bob, Colin The pictures show a nice looking tug.
The Hazelgarth looks a good boat to build. Will be watching both of your builds.

Good evening Bob,
That would be great, I'll have to dig mine out again and get the measurements, I think mine is 1/32nd scale. So at least I can upscale whatever you can let me have.
Cheers Colin.

Also it confirmed that its a 1/32 scale mode of the HAZELGARTH.

I've not tried emailing them, but you should be OK via phone, I know they have closed the shop in Skelmersdale, and now do only mail order, hope you get through to them, if you still have a problem,let me know, as I know a chap who helps them out at shows.

I have had the same with emails in this day and age you would think that just a quick yes or no is not to much to ask.
It is not as if they have to write a book!

If it looks right it probably is.

Thanks Brian,
This site is the best supplier of model boat information and help.
The boat in question was made by a company that seems to have gone out of business. As I have checked with companies House registry and no luck back as far as 1978 up to date.
So I'm relying on photos of boats from the REA TOWING COMPANY. Problem is that they are not clear enough to get detail.
Cheers Colin. 🤔

Hello Colin. I share your frustration with non reply to emails and companies wonder why they go out of business, I wouldn’t even mind if they replied and said b off, as long as they replied.
Good luck with your search

Thanks Martin,
I've sent emails to 8 companies so far, but no response as yet.
I'll not give up though I'm sure someone out there will have the information I need.
Our club is having an open day at Cob House Country Park, on the 23rd so I will take it with me and maybe someone will be able to help.
Further information on the open day is available from Worcester Model Boat Club.
👍Cheers Colin

Hi Colin,
Maybe you could get some drawings from other manufacturers of the model.
I just looked up the boat name and it looks like other companies make similar.
