	Looks like this thread is ahead of the other one concerning this boat! And yes, Marlin, that's about it: http://uk.geocities.com/dinghydata/DinghyClasses/Marlin.htm Well done Rupert.

	i will look into the marlin class, am afraid the sails that came with the dinghy have no markings whatsoever.

	A Marlin, by the look of it, designed by Ian Proctor. If you have sails, they would have a fish on them?
