Not a Wayfarer, they’re double chined. No idea what that might be. Any sails with insignia? Any makers plate on the hull anywhere?

I wondered about Kestrel, but then I thought I saw a wood centreboard. Also does the position of the jib track suggest a large genoa?
To the OP though, when you consider the condition of the decks, need to source sails, replace gear etc etc, I submit that is a project you should pass by. You could spend several hundred quid and end up with a boat worth nearly nothing. There are much better projects almost everywhere. Edited by JimC - 30 Oct 20 at 1:21am |

Jim is right - it must have a large genoa.
Can you measure the length and beam (width) exactly? That will help! |

Hi
I will do it's about ten miles away So might take a while As to repairs , it is very sound structurally It's fibreglass so no rot Just good clean and paint and boat is Fine . When I decided to try sailing there wasnt Anything this size for under 600 700 only mirrors Or enterprises to small for my family. The club is giving me a new mast so just sails and rigging , which I know won't be cheap but it's the only if spend at least to start with . Youm mention centre board it actually has a heavy duty metal one ? Cheers John |

I think its a G-Mach built Kestrel, early boats had a pretty big genoa , i can clearly remember them as a light wind menace handicap racing
