Hi everyone,
Had the following message from an IDRA owner. If anyone has any interest, I will put you in touch.
I presume he already has: https://docs.google.com/document/previe ... Tv6_WJ1LiM
Good morning,
I'm looking for guidance on a 14ft clinker built dinghy I purchased in
2019.
She was built in 1947 by R&A Hamper and is an Ireland Class wooden sailing
boat.
I only have one document that lists the designer as O'Brian Kennedy(?).
She is in wonderful condition with a 23ft mast and canvas sails.
I am a complete novice having never sailed but spent time last year
varnishing and polishing .
The mast seems fragile and the sails have seen better days.
The plan is to get her fully restored and even on the water at some point.
There is a 1937 Seagull outboard and a Swift trailer.
I'm searching online for any reference to R&A Hamper but with no success so
far.
Can you suggest where I might look for information and who to talk to
regarding sails and a new mast set up?
cheers

Re: IDRA 14ft Owner looking for any information
Apart from approaching the Irish clubs still sailing these in the Dublin area, the Waldringfield Dragonfly class is a variation of the IDRA and still active at Waldringfield Sailing Club in Suffolk so members there may be able to help.
