Only the Cornish...

...would think this has any value at all....

But out of curiosity...as this does appear to have a dagger-board or c-board case...and I guess that is a mast step at front of case....

what is it?

There was/is an identical boat to this at Mayflower SC, Plymouth. This maybe the same one, though I thought it was in better condition.

It has a double hull, maybe a foam sandwich, the mast step is at the front of the gunwale high plate case. I thought that the plate may have looked a bit like the Finn's. It had a blue sail in it with an unstayed mast.

I have a vague memory of thinking it was Sandinavian, unfortunately I can't remember why.!

A bit more on this oddity,

Took some photos of the one at Mayflower SC and had a look at the sail in it. It is made by Mitchell sails of Fowey, so gave them a ring. The phone number on the sail dates it as at least 15 yrs old and they do not seem to have any more info at the moment.

However this may mean the boat is a local Devon or Cornish production. It does have a logo on the sail and the number 301. Does this mean that there are 300 or so slumping around? It seems unlikely.

Someone paid £30 for it. Probably a sand pit now.
