British Seagull engine restoration

The Seagull engine has long since gone out of production, those that still exist tend to be in need of spares or in some cases a full rebuild.


Not all engines are in such bad condition as this one!

Your own British Seagull engine can be restored, labour for one like this early 102 series maybe R20,000 or about U$1600, plus spares required and electro plating.


What you get in return will be a collectors item?


Re conditioned motors are normally test run before they are returned to their owners.

This engine dates to around 1963, it still runs and runs well on a 25:1 petrol to 2 stroke mix as the jets in the Amal twin jet carb were changed to allow the leaner mix.

Shipping World wide is possible.

Having fun in the USA building our Optimist kit

We shipped an Optimist kit out to Stuart in the USA last November, some pictures have arrived showing the family and the kit.



The little lad is a regular in the garage it seems.



All this work means its time for a sleep for this little man.


It will be fun watching the build progress and then the grandchild can start to learn to sail.
