What are the white panels along the side deck?
They look like stowed dive planes...is there something you are not telling us?
Pretty boat that.

Faireys mostly have engine compartment air intakes mounted on the cabin sides; the original ones are vaguely like a scallop shell would look like if NACA had designed it and usually white moulded GRP or chrome-plated brass.They look like stowed dive planes...is there something you are not telling us?

Anorak alert!
Sometime around 1970 to 1972 they changed from the scallop shell style to this box style on both Huntsman 31 and Swordsman 33. This style should incorporate the nav light.
Huntress had a smaller style scallop shape in brass with chrome finish, never seen a white GRP one on a Huntress.
Huntsman 28 all had scallop shape, early boats brass with chrome finish, later boats with GRP, GRP clearly moulded from the brass ones as it shows the rivets from the brass ones that hold the baffle plates.
Spearfish and Spear had a longer GRP one. Never chromed brass except the first couple of 'Wooden tops'.
e it all over the web.
