Re: What happened to all the TIN boats??
hows this for a cool find, just looked at it last week again. its a 38 Cougar that has never been rigged. a friend of mine has it for sale right now. what kind of performance could be expected out of this boat with Arnesons and 1000's? just curious really. also how well do these boats handle? is it a user friendly boat or do they have to be driven?

For many years in the UK tin boats raced very successfully in UIM class 3C (for 2 litre boats), like this Forgecraft. Very good in the rough - won many races.
