yup you'll go down burning with that suggestion. Its not a Wayfarer... although Im not sure what it is. There is an old french boat that looks like that but i cant recall the name. Whats the symbol on the sail? Ian |

I thought the Wineglass was shorter and wider than the picture.

Risking making myself look stupid - again! - but it seems familiar. Kestrel maybe?? ------------- No FD? No Comment! |

Too small for a Kestrel or Wineglass (and doesn't have the characteristic Wineglass/505 sectional shape). Size is nearly right for a Lark, but not with that raked bow, for starters. Flying Junior is right length, but only 1.50 wide. Looks like the 'old French boat' is front-runner - they had a string of round-bilge grp boats with number-names based on the length, like '445'; that'd make this the original '400' |
. And yes,we need to see the sail symbol!Posted By: Medway Maniac

All wrong. It's a Marlin. http://uk.geocities.com/dinghydata/DinghyClasses/Marlin.htm - http://uk.geocities.com/dinghydata/DinghyClasses/Marlin.htm See the other thread running on this: http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2502 - http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2 502 |

sorry folks but there are no sails with her at present shes sailless and has no identifying marks on her anywhere! Medway maniac i think you win the prize here as she looks to indeed be a marlin, ive had two other people suggest the marlin after 100 emails and many forum postings. Ive been looking for a picture of the marlin everywhere so am very pleased you sent the links. Have you any more pics of it and where can i get more information on her, also where would i get copy of plans as have to build her foils and would like to get her back to as close to original as possible. I appreciate all the comments.
