at the end of our dinghy park at Felixstowe we have a pile of old boats. I'm trying to identify them so the can be slung on eBay before i get to play chainsaws and skip them. Can anyone identify them? sorry the pictures are a rubbish......
Ta!

I think the wooden one in pic 1078 is a firefly, and the white one with orange decks in 1073 and 74 seems to be a 420, but I may be wrong.

yes, sorry, i know the firefly, that's one to be removed. someone else has said 420 to so that looks promising. i also know of the wayfarer. just didn't separate the photos.

Very difficult with covers on and without any dimensions to give much clue
1069 are probably Hobie 16 I think 1070/71 probably Enterprise 1073/4 makes me wonder about Europe, but hard to tell like that. If 11ft long and unstayed mast then probably... 1075 Wayfarer I think 1080/1/2 maybe a very old Phantom, but that's a big guess, I first wondered about Mirror 14/Marauder Edited by JimC - 15 Jan 14 at 11:02am |

Still to get one: 1064/7/8.
Flare like a 505, transom a bit like a 505, but it seems to my eyes to be a bit short on elegance and maybe too narrow and maybe too small. |

thanks rupert. cant find any pictures on google of a living swallow. any ideas on the white boat next to it laying upside down? has red insides but couldn't roll it right over on my own. the only other one is the other orange topsides boat, 420 has been mentioned?

I'd want to see the front half of the 1073/4. 420 interior is unmistakeable.
Tip for anyone else doing this, length is a big help, so if you can arm yourself with a tape measure, and preferably not the ebay elastic variety... Edited by JimC - 15 Jan 14 at 12:02pm |
