Difference between Redstart and Redcrest?

[burgundyben]

What is the difference between a Redstart and a Redcrest?

Which is smaller?

I want to change for a round tail dinghy instead of the heavier one with a transom and wooden floor slats that i have.

Ta.

redstart 7ft i think
redcreast 8ft

This is a REDSTART

Funnily enough, Redcrest doesn't come up on a search except as a feature on other birds.

You may also find that the engine bracket is slightly different in size.

Redstart was 8ft, Redcrest 9ft and Redseal 10ft all are the round tail ones. I have a Redseal I'm going to sell too if you are interested, with S/S outboard bracket and folding (2 section) oars. The Redseal has slightly bigger dia tubes and is a bit drier but not much bigger packed or heavier.

Thanks all, sounds like its a Redstart that I want.

 

[sailorman]

the redcrest is a better dinghy with much larger tubes

That made me think of looking on some of the boat sales sites, I have been watching ebay and a couple of others.

I looked on boatshop24, found one in a brokers office just a mile from my work, nipped out lunchtime and bought it!

Bosh!
