About Us
Classic offshore racing collectibles
Powerboat racing may seem a world away from the type of cruising most of us do but the sports boats we enjoy today would not be half as good as they are without the racers, designers and builders whose heroic efforts helped shape them.
Due to our passion for these amazing machines we have recreated scaled down models of individual race boats using some of the most iconic team names.
​
Each boat is drawn on 3d CAD and printed as a plug. They are individually hand-made from the mould right the way through to the final detail of each model.
Our team will be releasing further models as time permits.

I started building and racing model boats at 10 years of age and this has remained a life long passion of mine.
I have been very lucky to be involved in full size offshore racing boats also. Over the years I have worked for many of the sports top offshore racing teams.

I became hooked on powerboats during 1971 when out sailing with a friend, we stumbled across a race in the Solent. From then on it was speed on the water.
As a teenager, making replica RC models of the boats became the way to satisfy the passion through the long winter months.
A professional career in the marine industry from Fairey Marine, National Maritime Institute culminating in the post as sales manager at Revenger RIBs were all interesting and exciting times.

I am now fulfilling my dream to be behind the wheel of one of the greatest classic race boats from the 70's, Uno Embassy.
As I am now retired from full time work I am able to continue my ambition to build scale models of these iconic machines.
