Designed by Pecy Blandford. Might be more in Dinghy Recognition - when it appears at the top of my filing system, I'll let you know if there is anything about a GRP version.

and try asking "AdnamsGirl"

Also I have info on another Percy Blandford design the 'Gremlin' as my Uncle built one from plans. Also the Gremlin herself is available if somewhat tired (been stored outside under tarpaulin for decades).
