Hi All.
Hoping someone will be able to help me identify a boat I recently purchased. See attached photo's.
It was bought from a guy in Penryn, Cornwall but the previous owner knows nothing about it. Its carvel built 15ft hull length (excluding bow-sprit). Steel centre-board. I am quite sure that it would have been originally gaff rigged but someone has put a GP14 mainsail onto what looks like a non-original mast. The boom I think is original, it has a track along its length, overhangs the transom a little and has a swivel for boom furling.
I have seen similar boats around the Helford and Falmouth but not one the same as this. I would like to return it to a gaff set-up for me and my family to enjoy.
Any help or comments would be most greatfully received.
