What type of boat is this?

[carl170]

I am trying to get a positive ID on the boat I have bought.

Nobody is exactly sure what she is!

Here are three pics.

http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?selected=249628

She is some type of GRP from the late sixties/early seventies, with straight down bilge keels.

The cabin has a high headroom for a boat of this size.

She has a Vire 6 engine, and looks like she will be a pig to sail!

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance (as usual!)

Cheers

Carl

i thought it was a corribee
the lines are similar
but
it could be a small hurley type
have you any inside pics?

Not a corribee?

There is a certain similarity with the Corribee Mark 1 but that had no side decks and doesn't have a transom hung rudder like this one.

See: http://212.67.202.35/~corribee/History.html

Nor do i think its a Hurley (18,20 or 22) as none of these had transom hung rudders either.

But its easier to say what its not than what it is.

No - it isn't a corribee - it looks around 18 ft - the Hurley didn't have straight down bilge keels

First thought was a Corribee with a modified coachroof .... but again the hull is too bulky for one .....

Re: Not a corribee?

I don't think it is any of the above!

I have updated the photo's to show the interior.

The only problem is that it does not show the true size. It is about 17-20 ft long approx 6-7ft wide. The cabin was a four berth, but one berth has been removed to add a toilet (you can see the door on the starboard side.

It has a sea toilet up the front, and also has a small sink on the port side with a folding tap. This is hidden under a cushion.

Any more suggestions appreciated!

Cheers

Looks like a late sixties Van de Stadt design.

Is there any insignia or symbol on mainsail?

Sorry Talbot, Snappies didn't have a transom rudder.
