Unidentified pond boat

Featured Replies

Hi all, complete newbie to the forum here.

I've recently been given an old (possibly VERY old) wooden pond yacht that is in need of restoration. I have some experience in model boating, model engineering and wooden boats in general, and am looking forward to the project, however I am struggling to find any information to be able to better identify the boat and how she may have been set up. I would be very grateful if anyone in the forum could point me in the right direction.

photos attached. general info as follows:

Hull length: 57" (145cm)
Beam: 14" (35cm)
Sheer to bottom of keel: 17" (43cm)

The boat came with two rigs, one slightly taller than the other. Masts are deck-stepped.  The boat is in sound condition, but almost all the hardware is missing.

 

Does this look familiar to anyone?
