That previous boat he looked he didn't buy because the keel was stuck up. This one's got the keel stuck down. 
Name this boat,please

This perhaps for the sort of sailing Wansey actually enjoys?
It’s got two sofas and a nice view and you don’t get wet

That's good value for just under €40. Why do they go to 3 decimal places thoughThis perhaps for the sort of sailing Wansey actually enjoys?

I refer my learned fellow to the words of the late Manuel of Torquay. “I know nothing”.

It was 24 foot bigger than your current boat!

All except my most recent boat have been under 24 feet (16ft 3"; 22ft; 17ft 3"; & 23ft), and I had huge fun and great adventures in every one of them.

I was quite taken by the 23 footer but the wife thought I looked too big for it
…..women like bigger ones

Shame you do not have a side view. Have you tried a google image search for finding a similar one. It certainly looks French to me. The alloy toe rail means it 1975 or later. The sloping chart table is not common and I only know of early Westerly's and Arpege having this feature. As Arpege is a French boat, it is possible it is an early Beneteau or Jeanneau.

Make sure your teeth are in good condition and firmly attached to your jaws as the single cylinder Sole (also sold in the UK as a Stuart Turner) is known as a bit of a thumper. My guess is it is a local Spanish made boat as pretty sure French boats did not use that engine.Yes Sole engineers quite handy…….in theory we have an appointment to view next weekend …….sofas definitely selling point

Damn. I thought he had finally bought a boat and was inviting us all to suggest a name for it, how about "Procrastinator"?

Were you planning to race it? Otherwise the class is surely not that important - its not like boats of the age you are looking at all sail exactly like they left the factory... some will have got worse with baggy sails etc and some will have been improved by their owners.Yes itsanoying the owner doesn’t know the class

I agree just interested in the history of the boat,here in Spain the Spanishforum may have people who know the boat by it’s class

I remember back in the late 1960's a butch girl wanted to call her dinghy "Sod It", however the club would not allow it. So she renamed it "Tidos". I think she won by being clever.
