Re: Are the sellers joking?

Got a closer look to the e bat blue and white, mastless dinghy. 1° Almost certainly it is not french made (rudder pintles are from holt allen, and forestay shroud plate too, on a 7O's french boat they would habe been made by Ermat; ILV...etc) 2° I can't find the lateral chainplates for the srouds ...

The 420 was intended both for 2 in and singlehanded from the beginning by the Socoa team (in case you got an odd number of pupils in a sailing class)..hence 2 mast steps and the 2 sets of chainplates on the early Lanaverres., along with a special second slot in the centreboard case for the sainless ...

The orange boat called a 360 in the Database is probably a Mowgli (possibly it was sold under another denomination abroad) a youth boat made by Gouteron (also builder of 445 and 485 ) who pioneeered the double bottom in France. The typical in built spinnaker bucket in font of the mast gate is vaguel...

Hello... It is quite an interesting point of view... too many tiny classes means handicap racing, which is not as interesting than one design homogenous racing. In the Sixties and seventies , for each successful boat launched by a particular boatyard, there were near identical copies built (and sold...
Well...Any given boat can be called a dog if one emphasizes one defect or another... I never owned a 420 (but sailed them a lot as club boats).. but still i think that though 420 was well ahead of its times in 1960 .
