When I do get around to working on one of my two Precedent 34” Huntsman 31 kits I would prefer to start with a “Sport” variant as I much prefer the shape and the style over the rear cabin type as supplied in the kit.
Once I have corrected and replaced the front cabin window with one that looks more like it should, I will have to correct the shape of the cabin roof to match it.
The cabin sides will also have to be remade (or reshaped , if possible) and a new rear cockpit will need to be made.
Basically I will need to make a new super-structure to fit onto the kit’s glass fibre hull……..just the sort of challenge that I enjoy, but I will be consulting with my two Fairey “guru’s” to make sure I get it right enough to get their approval.

Be interested in seeing those if you have Will. I drew mine up from a drawing in a book.

Thank you Chris and Will,
I am sure you both know that I was joking - I couldn’t be any better connected than I am with you two for anything to do with Fairey Marine.
Anything that you two don’t know about Fairey Marine is not worth knowing !
Together you are the font of all my knowledge about this magnificent boat builder of my favourite power boats 👍
Bob. 😎

I'm sure I've got aft cockpit plans on the laptop.

Like this you mean Bob? No, I don't know of anyone with drawings like that! 🤔 😀
Seriously, I have my drawings for my 1:12 Sport I started off building before changing it to an aft cabin. And I have various books showing the race boats so when the time comes we will get on the case.
Much easier modification than with our Swordsmen.

FordSport was one of the race boats, that happened to be an aft cockpit 31, so that could be one to replicate 😀
Bob, between us all, we'll have various plans for both styles 😉

That’s a good idea Chris - do you happen to know anyone that may have some pictures of these two variants to share with me by any chance ?
…..or maybe even some drawings……😂

Bob - you will have to build one as an aft cabin and if you want to replicate one of the "factory" modified race boats the other one will have to be a Sport with the full rear cockpit. 😀

I was going to modify my post as the article was quite some years ago and therefore I was thinking unlikely to have prompted your comment.
I have penned an update but embarrassingly most of the builds haven't advanced as much as they should have. I've now stopped starting new builds after the last two until at least some of them are finished!
