Help! I have just sold a dinghy, fof the club (you know the one - been in the dinghy park for ever and a day) to someone who would love to know a little bit more about it.
It is I think home built, about 12ft long, jib and main, hard chined, in fact very like a Graduate!
Has anyone anything I could pass onto this guy, please?
Tim

Well, there's probably about 40 or 50 classes worldwide that decription would fit... Photos might help!

Hi, it is called a shuttle and the pictures of it can be seen here: http://www.skiptim.co.uk/shuttle.html
I have had an Express in the past and it's not that, good thought though.

Sounds like a lost class for the CVRDA forum - if I were
you I would try posting it there.
