 The
Cobra & Seawolf Owners Club was originally
started around 1999, by a couple of owners looking to exchange information
and ideas by way of the World Wide Web. The club received a lot
of interest and even staged a couple of well supported rallies.
Sadly the site went into decline a after a year or so, possibly
as it was mainly hosted for free. Even so interest in the site remained
strong and eventually the site was re-born in June 2006, by way
of the efforts of Phil Hopcroft & Charles Walker, both
keen Cobra Sailors looking to promote a more active club kind of
club. Most of the old website details were obtained from the original
founders and these have been amended and updated where ever possible
and have provided a good platform on which to build a more permanent
and active owners association.
The aim of the new “Cobra & Seawolf Owners
Association” is pretty much is as originally
intended, which is to share knowledge and ideas with other “like
minded” owners but also arrange Sailing and other social meetings
for our members, mainly by way the website. Hopefully this will
help to promote the image of Cobra and Seawolf yachts. The association
has the full approval of David Feltham the Designer.
Cobra
Yachts were first built in 1976, and after design
alterations became the Seawolf. There are 4 Models in the Cobra
range, Cobra 700, Cobra 750,
Cobra 850, and Cobra 1050. and 3 models of Seawolf
Range, Seawolf 26, Seawolf 30,
(Cobra 900) and the Seawolf 43.
Over 1400 hulls were moulded in all.
We will be
pleased to hear from anyone that is able to help the association,
(unpaid of course) in any aspects of running the organisation. If
you are a previous owner or have knowledge of these yachts, we would
like to hear from you. We would also like to hear from any businesses
in the marine industry that would be interested in a link on the
site |
