Just found my number

Post by XQSME »

This morning I took many layers of paint from my Albacore for restoration and found the original number carved into the woodwork....

1775

Can anyone hazard a guess to any history / original name / year of build?

Regards

Tim
1965 Albacore No 1775 "XQSME"

I'm sure someone can help more precisely but I had one not too far from that number which I think was mid 60s
Just be aware that there may be two numbers on the hull, one is just a mould number I think.

I'm sure one of them will be able to help you.
