Help please - recently acquired the boat attached. Major refurb required but I still don't know whet it is. Looks very similar to an Intro 22 (David Thomas design). Its sheathed plywood 22ft but with a drop keel. Can't find any reference to an Intro 22 drop keel. Any suggestions?:confused:
 
Unknown boat

Looked at Van de Stadt and it could be a Sea Mini (sometiimes called a Zimmer) but the plans and stock photos don't give much away. Love to here from anyone that has come across anything similar. Were they home built? rig dimensions etc. One problem is the mast foot has a nasty crack so it needs replacing. Theres no name on the mast so tracking down a replacement could be tricky. Hence confirmation of the design is a good first start
 
Waarschip? (?spelling).

Van de Stadt design, 1970's, ply built. IIRC they made several models, but the 18 footer (rated at IOR Mini Ton) and 23-footer (rated IOR Quarter Ton) were most popular.

It does look like a Waarschip but the length does not fit. I can not remember the 23 having anything but a fixed keel. I think its one of the later Van de Stadt designs. Nice looking boat.

Mast might be repaired by a simple sleeve etc.
