Re: Xmas Advent Calendar- Guess the Boat
Max (et al) We can do better than that, you don't have to wait until next xmas for another confusing conundrum.
I have another racing dinghy (of the sailing variety). She's glass with a wood deck. In 1974 she had a rating faster than a Hornet (87) and slower than a 505 (81) but she is only 8 feet long (2.4 m)! Those figures are correct, I've not been at the sherry early! What is she? Feel free to debate in open forum.

Re: Xmas Advent Calendar- Guess the Boat
Sorry to keep you waiting. A fibreglass dinghy with a wooden deck, that in 1974 she had a rating faster than a Hornet (87) and slower than a 505 (81) but she is only 8 feet long (2.4 m)? I've two of these. No guesses from anyone?

Put a transom on it and you will have a Moth ball?

Re: Xmas Advent Calendar- Guess the Boat
The Mothball thing did occur to me but she's possibly cut off a bit short. I saw the original article when it came up on the forum before. I think this is more likely to become a quirky 8ft bookcase or trophy cabinet! Friend of mine has a very effective porch canopy made the rigid bit of a rib upside down on his kitchen flatroof, projecting out over the door, so loads of ways of recycling old boats. Maybe we should have a thread on this unless it's been done before.

We have a four foot long merlin (now a coffee table) in our clubhouse. Occasionally there's a note on itsaying " this is what happens if you don't pay your dinghy berth fees" or something similar. But I should say it was donated to the club in the sawn off coffee table version.
