Further to my earlier thread - "A little plywood classic - perhaps?"- it is clear the vessel in question is a Dell Quay Shearwater. However, this boat, unusually, has triple keels rather than the more common centreboard.
I believe the boat used to be kept on the River Exe and can understand the owner going for triple keels - it would not done the chines any good at all to ground on a shingle berth.
Information on this class is vey sparse - does anyone know of a group, association, forum or even a holder of records for these vessels? Internet searches have revealed very little.
