Any body know what this boat is?

Robot... It was an HDMBC, only recently sold.... 

Looking at the transom and the jib swivel I think this could be an Isis design by Barry Chisam rather than a Robot.

We had a couple of these within our club (a mark 1 & 2) as well as three Robot's, (Tony Edwards of Robot yacht fame was a member) I will look to see if I have any photo's of both designs.

Does the jib swivel attach to a bar at the bottom of the hull with access under a small patch on bottom of boat? A favourite of Barry Chisam as well as Graham Bantock. If so I think that would confirm 'Isis'.

Best way to confirm identity would be by asking the IOM registrar to look up the hull number.

Please let us know the result.

Cheers Eric

Photo I found on the internet of an 'Isis' as my photo's don't show the transom. (Note the lip at lower edge)

Follow This link to look at the Robot.

Note again the Transom which does not look like your yacht

Forgot to say that I don't think the earlier Isis yachts had the through hull jib swivel. (Could be wrong I will try to remember to ask our member who bought an Isis 1 after Trevor Binks won the World Championships sailing this design)

Not a robot! Best check with IOM registrar, but looks like an ISIS

I'm afraid my "guess" was the boat's name... The one for sale at HDMBC was also called Marvin...

Cheers Larry, I’m sure we will find out soon. 

Looks like a Wotsit by Bill Curtis.

Yes it does look like a ‘Wotsit’ to me also.
