I know that this trailersailer was built by 'Leichestershire Wood Workers' and has '58' stamped inside her stern, I guess meaning that it was built under licence. It looks like a "Waarschip" possably an early '570' but has a drop keel, Very Confusing!.
Some how this ex Britt. landed in my lap here in New Zealand, and I felt sorry for ... any way I am repairing the neglect but it didn't come with any mast or rigging so not only do I need your help Identifing what she is, I need help with finding out what the rigging plan was. H.E.L.P.
Details:
Length O/A 5.7m - 19ft
Beam 2.15m - 7ft
timber and ply construction(Mahogany) /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Oh and I havn't worked out how to post some Photo's
 
I reckon it will be a bit difficult to help with this one, photos would go a long way in giving us a start though. Here's a suggestion, could one of us that has the photo bollix on here sorted, post some for him? If he was to send them to somebody via email?

Hi Chris, I'm in Leicestershire and I'm restoring a Waarschip 570, unfortunately I've never heard of Leicestershire Wood Workers!
I've got loads of pics and scale drawings for the 570 which I could mail you if you PM me an address.

There is a Waarschip owners forum http://www.muzefalk.nl/forum/index.php, very helpful guys who will answer in English.

I could also put you in touch with a Waarschip owner in NZ, but if you ask on their forum he'll probably introduce himself!

I'd thought of converting mine to lifting keel, but there's already too much work to do!
 
Because I don't have the photo bollix sorted, and I can't be assed to prat about with it that's why.

So what are you getting so assy about? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Hi some Photo's
boat500x377.jpg

these are all the photos I took before gutting her out.
Pictures show: ply lap at bow, can just see typical cabin stlye( the front at least) and the bow has been modified was blunt, and now the insides

I have just sent you photos off to somebody who may know what she is, we are thinking she is a "Seagulmew" Try Googling?
 
The Dutch are the guys to say for sure, see the Waarschip forum I posted above, but I'm not sure it's a Waarschip.
The 570's I've looked at have hard chines unlike the nice curves yours has!

Three "planks" each side with a flat bottom....

That boat belongs to Hans in NZ!
 
Better still try this?

Chris, if you think that this is the boat, I have just been emailed some plans, they aint very good, but they might be of interest?

PM me your email address, and I will forward them on to you.
 
Hi Smiffy
First Prize.
You can all stop looking. I think we have found the answer.
She appears to be a 'Seagull' designed by Ian Proctor.
My many thanks to the Classic Boat Forum, I now have a platform to launch from
 
Coooo! first prize eh! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Aw shucks! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Is she a 570? Certainly differs from mine, and I know mine was a 570. Did they modify the cockpit, and coachroof? and that cut down transom... Certainly been heavily modified, perhaps for racing.
