Good fun, thats what it is!
I'm guessing mid 1970's 75 or 76.

Good luck Dan - I bet you'll enjoy doing it up as much as I did with my MOGO.  
the same, but different...

At first I thought your purchase was a Mistral design by Derek Chester but looking at the Int.Moth archieve I am inclined to think it is a Danish boat of circa 1975 judging by the wings, try here.

 http://www.int-moth.org.uk/Archive/75%20YearbookPart1.pdf

page 13 of the Yearbook, caption reads "Ross sails a Danish boat", maybe your boat?

could be... will be interesting anyway.

The wings on this boat dont look the same as the photo so it may not be it?

Looks like another screaming reason for a cash to scrap scheme to
prevent the youf of today being retarded more than they are already.

If you clear a spot in the bottom right hand corner of the boat park, or
later tonight take it to the low water mark (you're in luck it's springs right
now) I'll help you do the decent thing, try out my new turbo lighter.

Or I'll show you an old Boy Scout trick of how to set light to something
with just the one match. Perhaps something positive in your further
education can come from this.

Then tell us the name of whoever it was that conned you out of your
pocket money for this and I'll get matron to go round there and admonish
them for taking advantage of a simpleton..

there were some fab beards in that yearbook - some nearly as good as the one you had back then grumpf!

Dan, make sure you keep a photo record of your progress - it's great to look back on.

I think it would probebly need to dry out a bit before it would burn that well - and once it has dried out, may as well play with it instead!
The wings may well have differed from boat to boat as well as from design to design. Unless it was abandoned here after a worlds or something, it is more likely to be British than Danish!
