Brief details

E. C. Landamore & Co. Ltd., Wroxham, Norwich |
An early GRP cruiser-racer
by Landamores to a Robert Tucker design. The hull form is reminiscent
of earlier Tucker ply chine designs, with a very firm turn to the
bilge amidships and a relatively flat floor, whilst the coachroof
has a curved moulded cone entrance instead of a sliding hatch, as
in the Contessa 26 and Pandora designs of the same era |

The TL90 was an early
GRP yacht, designed by Robert Tucker as a racing boat in 1966, and
built as a production cruiser-racer by Landamores until the mid-70s.
With long overhangs and relatively narrow beam the accommodation
is very small compared to typical modern 30-footers, with standing
headroom only for the extremely short. Nevertheless, she has four
berths, a large vee/double in the forepeak and two 6' 6" long
quarterberths, galley, separate heads, and fold-down chart table.
When built the TL90s were usually fitted with 6 hp Vire petrol inboards,
or occasionally 7 hp Volvo Penta MD1 inboard diesels, or outboards. |
