December 8, 201411 yr Hi AllI visited a friend last Saturday to help identify and to offer some advice. He had recently been left an old pond yacht but there was no rigging or sails. With the help from another forum and VMYC website we now believe the model to be either a 5 Rater or 36R. Due to the skimming dish design and that we think it was built during the late 1800's a 5 Rater is more probable than the 36R which was adopted as a Class in 1929.I have looked but there doesn't appear to be a lot of information about the 5 Rater pond yacht and racing designs on the net. Does anybody have any old photo's or information they would like to share.Our goal is to give this old lady a sympathetic refurbishment so any help would be gratefully received.Many thanksMk
