PS in my day a Flitze, as applied to cars, was called in UK a 'Crumpet Hunter'! 😉

'Unbekannte Flitze' it is. Flows off the tongue and should create a good deal of conversation...... maybe with fast ladies!

Another thought! You could call her "Unbekannte Flitze"
Flitze is a German generic term for any fast vehicle; sports cars (esp. cabrios), boats, etc. Sometimes even 'Fast Ladies'! 😉

Hi Allen, then considering her German origins you should call her "Unbekannt!" means the same. 😉
Then you can show off!
Q: "Wassat mean then?"
A: "Her name? Oh that's just 'unknown' in German old chap"! 😁😉
(Substitute 'young lad' as appropriate 😁)
Or how about "Unbekannte Fräulein"!?
Have fun, cheers Doug 😎 (Viel Spaß!)

You know, considering some of the thoughts above, you could call it "unknown streaker"! Ha! Ha!

Thanks Spunky52. When she is repainted and added to the Harbour she will be named 'Unknown'.

Robbe had a boat named the Eco-Star, me thinks. This isn't it but it's along the same lines. Once you seal it with radio box tape it is self righting. Should be a lot of fun. You could add a very small brushlees and would probably be the fastest at the pond...

Looks strikingly similar to a drag boat however being quite novice in boating I probably should not comment too much

Agree entirely. High time we consigned political correctness to the dustbin.
The model looks like what I think was called a wedge racer back in the day. They were quite popular on the racing circuits.
Happy eclipse day!

Hi Alle, Yep, strange! Same as the demise of Mademoiselle in France!
(Was a bit of a mouthful anyway!)
To hell with political correctness, I would go ahead and call her
Goldene Fräulein, pronounced 'Froylein'! = more or less Golden Miss or Golden Girl, not to be confused with the ladies from that superb TV series! 😉 Girl is actually Mädchen, for some strange reason no one can explain to me this is neuter in German, odd language! 🤔
Have fun, Doug 😎

Thanks Doug. I think I will call her Goldene Frau or Schnelle Dame. I would love to call her Fraulein but I understand that's not politically correct these days. Strange world we live in.

Hi Allen, Doesn't help much I'm afraid but
Bubu's Racing Team is a motorbike team, run by Marcin Bubel, based in Częstochówka in southern Poland!

Bartels is a building technology company (electrics) in Oldenburg near Bremen, miles and miles from Poland!

No clues about the boat I'm afraid 🤔
Happy hunting and painting, Doug 😎

Help! What's this?

Before I restore and repaint this boat, I wonder if anyone can help me identify it. Picked it up yesterday at a boot sale from, I think, a German guy in his 30s, along with a Kyosho RC Car. The boat was covered in Bubu's Racing Team stickers and had a few Bartels GFK/CFK Technik of Oldenburg stickers. She is 18"/450mm, has a water cooled (Yokomo Keil?) DTM A-563 motor and a Hitec full mos fet sp-560 esc. Put in a new receiver and battery and she was up and running. She will be red and gold when repainted. Not much to look at but, probably, quite quick.
