I was given these images ages ago.....and asked for a 'boat-identification'...
I totally forgot, but here are the images now:
Details:
length: 13ft 2in
beam: 4ft 10in
Gunter rigged with iron centre plate and rudder.
just been restored after 8 years out of the water.
West country origin is suspected, but no known provenance.
I am afraid I don't recognise her and would suspect a local west county design or a local builders custom build.
What do others think?
cheers

Very nice. I suspect you are right and its a local boat.

Very unusual decks - almost Germanic - not that I think she is German. Very distinctive.
