Can Anyone identify this

[Cill]

I was wondering if anyone would know anything about this boat. I was told she was built in 1952 in The Isle of White and somthing about Porpise class.
I would love to see a picture to see it with its origional cabin so I can make it right .
Thanks for reading

I don't know, but she looks very badly hogged to me.

Porpoises are meant to be hogged. All leaping fish are that shape.

Thanks for those comments, this is partly why I want to know what she is,so I can do a search and see what her lines should or should not be. Before I invest the time in her

She does look like a Porpoise(except for the coach roof obviously) but the Porpoise wasn't designed until 1960. Built by Goshawk Shipyards in Cowes, designed by A. Mylne & Co.
LOA 25ft6"
LWL 18ft6"
Beam 6ft9"
Draft 4ft
Disp 2 tons
Ballast 2100 lbs
Sail area 268 sq ft.

She looks similiar to a Thumbelina.
Do you think that the coach roof is original?. It looks a bit out of proportion in the photos.

If it's a Milne design, best contact Ian Nicolson as he worked with Mylne until Mylne died; I can give you his number or email if you like. Also the owners of the Mylne catalogue should be able to help.

Thanks very much again,
it looks like you have given me the start I needed.
I Plan to complete the hull this year
Replace the coach roof and deck the year after and then the interior fit out....
We shall see
