This is on Boatshed and has now been sold but they were offering a bottle of bubbly to anyone who could identify the make...

(You need to be registered on the boatshed site to be able to view the additional pictures but it's a trouble free site and Ive never had any spam from them. They show a hull with quarter decking and a king post under the foredeck. The plate case is extended forward and the bow has a rounded stem leading to a vertical entry. (Quite like a clinker version of a fairey Falcon)
Certainly has an Uffa style to the forward extension of the centreplate case to lend support to the King post, but a Fairey style of centreplate makes me wonder if this was a late addition to an ordinary clinker hull 'cos so far as I was aware Uffa didn't do any round stemmed clinker dinghies after WW2 which was when he got into production with Fairey's
Perhaps the decking on this is also a later addition.
Shame about the white paint but that makes me suspect a naval input, and its origin being cornish makes me wonder about a modified RNSA dinghy that might have escaped the Dartmouth naval college Armageddon.
Any thoughts?
Is it one of Uffa's "clinker classics"
