Not a wherizzit, a whatizzit.

Wot, no stick-sail-hangy-thingy? Na, not f'me. 
Actually, it IS a nice looking little dodge-about. And I agree, looks like it is designed around a ships' lifeboat.

It does have a look of a lifeboat, but it isn't.
Not an IP24.

Not dissimilar to the Menorquin boats you see around the Balaerics...

Not one of them.

it puts me in mind of a range of Swedish boats about 25 years ago. You could have them as a mobo or as a sailybo; same hull, just with a mast on it.

I think Albin made a similar type of boat.

Not at all! ok its not a gin palace with all the bling, but a nice sort of much cheapness between yachty/mobo. I quite like it, but I also like colvic northeners!

That was the Swedish built Albin 25 made in the early/mid '70's ... and she had a straight stern and fwd side window was a single one ...
Thought the superstructure looked a bit like an early Fram 25 with a back wall added, but stern shape does not quite fit in ... however they did have a tiller at the stern, which this one appears to have... Also a bit confused about what appears to be an open anchor locker at the bow...

Yes, very similar indeed! but its not a fram, and it is slightly longer
Liquid lunch time, back later.

An other one which may fit the bill ... in similar lines is an older Finsailer 29 .... (older ones had two side windows, newer had three) ... need to drop this now as lunch is over ..
Most delivered with aft cabin and sails as a motorsailor ... but often de-masted and used as mobo...

Nice, but it is not one of them, the boat I posted has, for a mobo, an incredible AVS!
If no one gets it I will reveal all tomorrow, about this time.

Yes correct, you get the virtual pint, although looking at your location you had a slight advantage!
The site itself is well worth a look, the owner is ill and selling up. Divemaster 1 came very near, I thought he would have nailed it later
The AVS and concrete ballast was almost yacht like, fuel capacity amazing, it is a shame that something similar is not for sale in the uk, cost of production probably would prevent this. Thanks all.
