Thanks Nondutch.

Now, can tell me anything about a Dutch dinghy class or boat called the Vrijbuiter which was about 22' long and sailed in the '50s???

only thing I can find back on Vrijbuiter is that is was a centerboard boat allowed to carry maximum 15mē of sail and  that it has nearly vanished as a class today

only few boats have been built after World War 2

I guess it lost out against 16Mē class which started in 1931 and has become a very big class in Holland

those pictures look suspiciously like jacquelines that sail off hill head.

errm changed my mind, nothing like it, jacquelines have a jib to start with. but they are both 12 foot
