Walter F Raynor designs

[pij27]

I am looking at getting this wooden ketch, designed by Walter F Raynor, but not sure which model it is. Its approx 32ft long, wooden hull construction. Initial google search suggests a Barbary 32, but information I have found suggests that those had a Fibre Glass construction. Any help greatly appreciated. It needs a good clean, but hull and deck are solid and all fittings seem ok. Just not had any love applied for a year or two.

"Hull and deck are solid" sounds like you really should get a full survey done before buying, no matter how cheap the asking price.

I will be getting a survey, its mainly a question regarding the design and what is she. The seller does not know and all have is a makers plate saying the design information. Hoped someone may know of the design or something about the type

I think you find it is similar to Horizon class Motor Sailer, possibly built by Port Hamble 1960's

Doubt its a Horizon as the stem curves the wrong way.

It could be a Cape Class that was the basis for the later GRP Barbary. However someone has butchered the wheelhouse, badly, if it is.

If you have the name, it might help to trace, if it is original.

Yachts name is Tamina. Don't know if this is original though
