A friend has bought a sailing dinghy, and nobody knows what class it is.
It is just over 13 feet long and the beam is about 6 feet. It looks rather fast, and has "wings" like a Moth, but it is too big to be a Moth.
The hull and decks are made of GRP, but the rudder, centreboard and transom are made of wood. There are flaps in the transon for drainage. The deck is a sort of egg shell light blue - the sort of horrible colour that was popular about 25 years ago.
There is only a single mainsail, which has a 3 digit sail number, which indicates to me that this must be a class that was reasonably well established. In addition to the sail number, there is only a big "H" on the sail.
There is no makers plate. Does anybody know what class this is?
