A Marlin, by the look of it, designed by Ian Proctor. If you have sails, they would have a fish on them? ------------- Firefly 2324, Puffin 229, Minisail 3446 Mirror 70686 |

i will look into the marlin class, am afraid the sails that came with the dinghy have no markings whatsoever.

Looks like this thread is ahead of the other one concerning this boat! And yes, Marlin, that's about it: http://uk.geocities.com/dinghydata/DinghyClasses/Marlin.htm - http://uk.geocities.com/dinghydata/DinghyClasses/Marlin.htm Well done Rupert. |
