    I wonder...... that toerail shouts 'navy' but there are no armament mounts visible. Is she aluminium? Italian? I wonder if she's a Baglietto - now makers of superyachts, but around since the 1850s and a big supplier of (very) fast boats to various navies since WW1. I've seen them use a flare like that to handle spray/bow-wave. Do tell!

    That's one snazzy-looking boat - would love to see it back in its full glory!

    Now that would be a job and a half for your skills, Fergal :D

    That is a great looking boat.

    Searching the image throws up this thread and this one. Unfortunately neither identify the boat. Is the boat still in Sacramento? or close enough for you to get your hands on it:)

    She is aluminium and would look great polished up like a silver stream caravan :D I was thinking more eastern european maybe built as a movie prop for something like 20000 leagues under the sea.
    As far as I know she is still in Sacramento :(

    Audrey Hepburn was born on this day in 1929.
