What is this boat?

[mikeplummer]

Looked out the window a few minutes ago and saw a yacht towing its dinghy moving towards Hurst Narrows. Nothing unusual, except there was something small and red ahead of it (didn't have glasses on at the time).

Grabbed the binoculars and realised the "red thing" was the sail of a dinghy sized yacht (15ft?) with junk rig, cream topsides and the skipper apparently cacooned inside a clear "pilot house structure". He may have been bouncing around a bit but I'm sure he was warmer and drier that the crew sitting in the cockpit of the following yacht.

The attached picture is not good but I estimate the larger yacht as approx 35ft so gives an idea of scale.

So has anyone any idea of what this mini cruising yacht is?

by looking at the hull colour may be: Bill Sergeant's "Faith" ?

So thats what it was!

Well done both of you, I think you've both got full marks for make and model!

Thanks

Mike

PS I was really impressed by the concept.

Fantastic reading Dave, and the fact that he passed about 2 miles from my house while crewing on the Vega across the atlantic to visit Mat Leyden, he also had the charm for the girls!
