Bought from ebay in a moment of madness.  I don't even know what it is.



No mast, no sail, no rudder, in fact, nothing.  It is said to be wooden and said to be 3.88m long and 1.1m wide.

It may yet be a garden ornament.  Any ideas?

and no, I didn't pay a lot for it....

Clearly a skiff.

Obviously some sort of cherub derivative, will you be requiring a blonde
curly wig?

I think now it may well be a vintage moth.  I am growing my hair.  I just need to buy the peroxide.

It is not a minisail, that much I do know.  This boat has a stayed mast whereas a minisail does not.
