There's Coastal Craft Models, as you've noted.
But, there was a Coastal Forces Models, run by a fellow named Christian, which made 1/72 GRP hulls. His website was: https://www.mtbhulls.co.uk which you can see is now not working.
Their catalogue was listed in 2014 by WEM, and my searches don't find anything for them after 2014.
Here's the WEM 2024 listing, scroll down:

And here's a 2012 thread on a forum where Christian is announcing his new products:

Coastal Craft vs. Coastal Forces. Nice and confusing. I ran into the latter while looking into the former, and briefly thought I had some news to post, then realized the catalogue numbers were different, then realized not the same outfit.
Tim asked about Coastal Forces. I think Craig's answer is accurate.

After it was stated on this board a couple of months back that the owner was back at work (slowly) I e-mailed him and he was able to provide a Dogboat from bits and pieces he already had. (The Dogboats, and the SGBs deserve good quality 1/72nd and 1/35th injection kits).
It took some time to come, but it a lovely kit.
I would suggest that individuals e-mail the owner and enquire over availability.

The owner's name is Martin Blundell
