No it's just as bad as all the crap windsurfing boards on ebay that encourage people into attempting to take up a sport only to be disappointed, burn or landfill it and get something the 'poster' will enjoy racing in, or go post on some woodbotherers restoration men in sheds forum where the pastime is nothing to do with racing sailboats.

Snowy; if you're still reading you may be interested to know (if you haven't sussed it out through the earlier link) that the Vagabond was designed by Alan Payne, a famous designer whose 12 Metre Gretel II was considered the fastest America's Cup boat in existence in her day. They were one of the first fibreglass production dinghies in Australia. Good luck with her!

Who even cares what it is other than to work out the most green means of recyling it, burning obviously not ideal.

Lord knows where that teak came from.  Certainly not from DeHavillands.

And neither did the wind transducer on the masthead.

...and guessing that the scenery isn't Australian, INA might well indicate an Indian Navy craft.

From the sail insignia, looks like it could be a Vagabond, the Aus version not the UK.
