I would check the dimensions to confirm what the boat is, the Sonatina brochure dimensions differ from your original listing (14'6" vs 15 1/2 feet), and your boat has a stern deck which the Sonatina does not seem to have as standard. Do you have a sail? The sail mark would perhaps give other clues, as would the sail number assuming he sail originally belonged to the boat. If it is a home built boat, you would probably struggle to find out much info as it is unlikely that there would be a class associate. Check out http://www.cvrda.org/ if you havent done so already.

Do you think there would be any way of getting any history on it? The only id it has is the plate on the mast plus the name "wild Oat" that looks original

My first thoughts was an M-Scow but its a long way from home if it is.
Could it be a Norfolk Punt? Most of them are much longer but I believe there were some built around 16 feet. |
