What dinghy is this ? (the game must be catching on)

[atelford]

Seperate post to other poster about dinghy but thought I may ask the same. This dinghy is built by Pearson Bros of Ardundel Sussex. Its about 13 odd ft and is a small siling dinghy. It appears to be the big brother edition of a Bobbin but I do not know when the boat was made, how many were made and what the name of this particular version is. Any thoughts anyone ? Photos attached.

Fantasie 19 - Close but no cigar. Same maker but mine is the "bigger brother" so to speak of the bobbin.

It's an Otter. I sailed one once. The unstayed rig used to bend rather alarmingly IIRC.

For anyone interested Ive cracked it. Its a "Sailaway". Found an exact match here :

I'd like to re-start this thread, as I have a dinghy I've sailed for the past few years, but still haven't worked out what it is. So, here's a picture. She's 14'6" long & only 4'2" wide. No manufacturers plate or any other markings at all. And the guy I got her from didn't know either. Any input welcome!



(Apologies that the picture gets rotated)

I've just bought one of these and was wondering if anyone had any experience of them and was willing to share their wisdom? I'm very new to sailing so any advice would be welcome.
