2 X Huntsmans on Windermere

Post by FrankS »

Took Sabre Knight to Low Wood this weekend for lunch and was surprised to see another Huntsman Double Century there too.

That’s an amazing scene Frank. Unlikely to have happened before. The only Fairey powerboat I recall
on Windermere before was the Huntress now called Elle Va when owned by Paul Foulston. Others may know
more.
Two offshore powerboats capable of running the length of Windermere in 20 minutes odd but
Where there is now a speed limit of 10 miles an hour.
Both are for sale of course and this image must help.
Very very odd nobody else has commented though.

That is truly a beautiful sight. I was on holiday in the Lakes last May, We were walking along the banks of Windermere when a Huntsman 31 came cruising past, besides being lovely to see I decided to be all knowledgeable and said to the group 'Here comes Sabre Knight', I didn't look so smug when it went past and had Double Century written on the stern!

I'm sad to sell her but she's just too fast for the lake, the rangers have rightly got me on their radar!

Great picture.
Almost one for the front cover of Fairey News.
Maybe there should be a "Windemere WhatsApp" group!

Here is a picture Paul Foulston asked me to post of Elle VA, then Artemis when she was at Windemere
