Swift is the closest to the eBay tape measure

Not a Swift, it looks a bit too 'crude' and as far as I know no glass fibre ones were made with bridge decks. Could be a Cheetah,

Hi Peter
Agree looks like Cheetah to me also. If it has red sails that would confirm it.

No red sails, but the sails don't look like they come off a cat at all!

Two mainsails there: they look as if they could both be for the same spars, so may be original. Don't recognise the sail emblem, which to my mind is an argument it could be original.

Re: Was ist das?
Definately not a YW cat. The sails are newer than the boat thats a recently used Mike Mac Logo. They are not fully batterned and I would suggest come from a racing dinghy not a cat. Hull shape is identical to Cheetah cats that I have seen.

Agree with that. The mainsail logo looks like it is off a Phantom.

Flat plate aluminium centreboards and rudders by the look of it. What does that match?

Re: Was ist das?
Reminds me of the french catamaran Exocet by lucien Gourmez (a french reinterpretation of the british shearwater by Prout)...but a bit more modern with more fiberglass and less wood .
Interesting piece of mid /late 60's pre hobie catamaran , but the sail should be a ull batten type
