Colin Faggetter began a second career as a boat-builder and shipwright at Fox's yard, Ipswich after leaving the Navy where he had served as a navigation officer with B&I and P&O lines. He has built many craft, including the Eventide, as well as his own designs. He designed the 23ft and 27ft Goosander for the Yachting Monthly series.
He now lives in retirement in Suffolk where he has continued to design craft for the home builder from the 35ft Fulmar to small pram dinghies for use as tenders. Almost every one of his designs has been built as a model, some of them even being radio controlled. Unfortunately we are no longer able to offer his Goosander plans, of which we sold very few copies, as he has withdrawn this design from our portfolio, preferring to try to sell plans elsewhere.
