I have an Explorer 19' day boat now 3rd Summer and delighted with it. Easy to rig and set sail in no time. Loads of space for day sailing and fishing. 4HP outboard pushes her along grand. I tow the boat from winter storage to Summer hard standing and launch as required from club platform. Probably a bit on the heavy suide for towing long distance, trailer is OK but not great so looking to install "guide on" uprights to ease the recovery operation. I replaced the dodgey braked hubs with non braked ones. The rig is simplicity itself and as I had a Dabber but Explorer more efficient and sails to windward. Original "Rockall" sails. I think my boat is possibly built by Honor Marine although no builders plate. Similar joinery and deck colour as the Dabber I had. Anyone with any "Explorer" info glad to exchange notes. Regret production ceased prior to internet network so not much info on line. Previous owner of my boat has clips on YouTube.
