Assuming itr is bieng build in the UK then high foredeck, deep chested, mast stump... You'd think 12 foot skiff, or maybe Cherub. The vertical topsides and apparent narrow beam and low freeeboard aft makes you think Cherub rather than 12 but I am most mystified by the construction methods... doing the floor separately from the topside is unusual because you'd think you'd have a weakness at the chine join... I'#d rtaher the outside skin fibres went clear across the join. Unless of course there is no outside skin yet! There seems to be unusually litle angle on the front bulkhead too, but that might be perspective.

Hmm, one thought, is there a slight smell of chicken s**t about it?

it looks small ( look at the drain cover )- perhaps a 'modern' US moth with a kite, or maybe it's small enough for a 6 foot skiff !

My vote goes for a US 'modern' moth or something new entirely...

I agree it does seem odd the way its being built though... it does look almost as if an outer layer of glass is already on the bottom panels and I cant really think of any advantages of doing it that way and a stack of dissadvantages

I am not Clare D and my dad has never built a boat in his life. Also, it was not so much of a spot, as such....
