A Wharram Tangaorra catamaran and +1 Wayfarer dinghy. Both have significant stories to tell on usage, seamanship and design.
It would also be interesting to see the evolution of FRP design from the thick layups of yesteryear to the lightweigh strong layups today. Also a bit on how internal volume has been increased for the same length and the factors that made that possible (and the trends).

Well if you could provide the dimensions - again - we'll have it in the virtual museum.

There in the bible somewhere. Something like 400 cubits long I think. Not sure about breadth and height.

+1 Silhouette or what was that also not one Of Tristan Jones boat designers? or what about was it Scamp was that not a Tucker.
Cadet, GP 14 or Enterbarge.
18 Foot Skiff,
International Moth,
A 1/2 or 3/4 Tonner.
If this Sailing boat? or Yacht?...
Bristol Pilot Cutter, Nobby, Yorkshire Coble Scottish Drifter, Thames Barge, Viking Long Boat, Arab Doh, One of the Polynesian Canoes you could really go on on that one...

Hate to be picky but I did say ' 20th or 21st Century '; this might rule out some of those, and in my experience quite possibly the GP14 and Tucker designs !

Yup must admit with the last half of the list I missed your criteria.
Then I also forgot the list should only include designs by Oliver Lee of Burnham. Preferably of early 1970's vintage and capable of withstanding full gales in the English channel where even square riggers are left running for cover...

Yes, I have it. Along with just about anything else to do with Vertues; including the 1964 Lloyds Register which lists her. Sad, I know.

Onesea,
A, where did I ever specify that ?
B, Yes I'd much rather try getting away from a lee shore in any Oliver Lee design rather than a square rigger ( and I've tried square riggers to windward, not on a desperate lee shore though I'm happy to say )...
If you read the ' Articles ' section of the website in my signature below you'll see Bob Salmon took ' Anderson Affair ' through gales then a F10 on his jaunt across the Atlantic.
If you're going to have a dig, please try something other than seaworthiness !

To be fair, seajet didn't suggest an A22 and when I suggested an Oliver Lea design it wasn't the one I own.

This is all jolly interesting, and it's the sort of thing which the NMM at Falmouth ought to have. Their dinghy collection is pretty good, but I don't think they have much if anything by way of small yachts.

They've got a couple. Curlew for example and formerly Bluebottle, the Royal families Dragon. However the NMM at Falmouth was mainly intended for the dinghy collection. From what I've seen of the NMM however, both in Cornwall and in London, filling halls with all sorts of boats is not really their concern.

Well if it's a maritime museum what are they meant to fill their halls with ?!
I thought the Exeter museum was great - alright that was sort of dinghies / open boats but they had things like surf boats from Brazil and the sad transat rowing boat ' Puffin ' complete with the poignant rusty radio as she was found.
It doesn't take much to have yachts on show, even if really necessary truncated rigs as seen at boat shows.
Maybe if I or someone more clued up can gather the brain cells we could have a proper 3D virtual museum ?

I think a museum of boats should show beautiful boats as well as popular ones, a Dragon would add this dimension. admittedly the Contessa 32 already listed alsoqualifies, whereas some small cruisers have the visual appeal of a Baby Belling.

Are these boats able to be sailed, or like Gypsy Moth IV and others, 'stuck in concrete' metaphorically speaking?
