No idea of the dinghy type, but it looks like you'll need quite a few bits to get it sailing again!

Looks like it has(d) a bowsprit, and the holes towards the transom on the gunwhales would support a huge asymetric spinny so try looking at the Laser / Topper / ISO ranges for a start.

hi 9d280
thanks for the info, i havnt got a clue what your talking about tho. I just used it to go up and down my local canal, put a 2hp mariner on the back and had some great days out on it, i know it needs many bits to get it sailing again what i ment was it just needs a small piece for the front to make it a complete hull,but not sure weather that is realy required ? do you have any idear what one of these would fetch the way it is ? oh with the trailer aswell

[Searider]

Is there a hull number on the upper right hand corner of the transom?

This might help identify it.

[arkamelis]

no theres no marking at all,apart from the name i gave it on the side now, i was thinking of sticking it on fleabay for £500 with trailer and bottom cover,does have a top cover but dog put a hole in it" mut "

Possibly not. The "blunt" bit probably is nowhere near the water when sailing, so doesn't matter if it isn't a perfect knife edge.

The names I gave were a going in guess for that kind of dinghy. I have since had a crawl round some dinghy sites, and so far nothing jumping out as what you have.

The bow may not actually end in a point - there are dozens of dinghies out there with "blunt" ends - the Mirror being the classic example. When I saw your pic it looks like there is a 2" hole in that front section - that would probably be for a bowsprit for an Asymetric spinnaker, so unless there are some more bolt holes or other method of attatching it, there may not be a "pointy bit".

Google the Topper Buzz, it has a very similar shaped bow (small blunt triangle) but the stern is totally different.
