Is this a Winner?

Re: Is this a Winner?

Thanks ST
I managed to contact the owner before the guy I bought the boat from, via this website (Duncan Ellison from Manchester UK) he was refurbishing the boat about 4 years ago and posted a number of threads.
Ducan advised that he spent a shed load of money on the project which included the curved windscreen and major makeover.
Assuming I've cut and pasted correctly you will hopefully, be able to access the clips below. I guess this guy is also something of an enthusiast!

P.S. Something weird happened with my 'cut and paste' this link will direct you to U tube and then search for Winner Cobra, this guy has posted 3 videos.

He really did a nice job, didn't he. The new windscreen that it now has, takes at least 15 years off the age of the boat. I think you got a little jewel.

Thanks, I'm sure she'll be something of a headturner, the boat + original windscreen possibly had the aerodynamics of a wardrobe.

Re: Is this a Winner?

I believe it is a winner. I am no expert, but by the shape of the transom and the way the side rub rails turn up at the stern, it looks very much like the sterns of the baronet models (1969- ~1974?). This isn't a baronet, but maybe a sister. Not sure which year or model this is, probably newer than "74. Anyway, just my opinion
