Pics to come. This list is from when the boat was new.
AVON REDSHANK
This, the largest craft in the Avon dinghy range,
carries seven people and is very popular with
skin-divers.
The high buoyancy and stability incorporated in the Redshank's design make It absolutely ideal for larger parties. And, like all the craft in the range, it can be fitted with marine-ply floorboards for the support of heavy gear.
Unequalled in expeditions, river-running and camping, this is thecraft which first conquered the treacherous rapids of the Blue Nile ...
· .. the craft which, with its capacity for outboards
up to 6h.p. is strong enough to be standard equipment in the British Navy!
