How old is this Anzani Super Single

I have just acquired a Super Single which has the serial number SS 47 O(or 0) 41 - can anyone help with a date for it? It has a red fuel cap if that helps....?

The hull was covered with a couple of layers of glass fibre mat and...

Re: Fenn and Wood restoration

Mel,

They did indeed! It's useful to see how the hull developed from the GP14 boat. I will be in touch as another r F&W project appears to be looming!!

Fenn and Wood restoration

Hi, I am new to the group, but not to boating. I acquired a Fenn & Wood boat late last year on a well known auction site for the princely sum of £540.00 including delivery. The boat came with trailer, cover and Yamaha M12 electric outboard - a bargain! However, once backed into the water an aquatic ...
