I have recently purchaced a 14’3″ double skined grp open sailing dinghy 5’7″ beam with swinging centre board case, 23’0″ mast mounted on keel. My friend thinks it was marketed as a HOBBIT but I cannot find any mention of it on the internet. Does anyone know of its design history or class rating?

many thanks John.

I have a GRP dinghy from early 70′es (?) whichI have not been able to identify so far. Can you help? It’s a GRP hull and deck, ~13 feet, wooden mast and boom, wooden centre board. looks partly like a Gull, partly like a wayfarer, partly like a ?? etc. I expect it to be from the UK (according to my sail maker and the fact that all fittings are Holt-Allen). I have some photos but can’t see how to attach then to this mail. I’d very much appreciate your return mail.

Yours sincerely, Jens Moeller Jensen Horsens, Denmark

I just bought a second hand boat over here in Spain it was built by Rydgeway Marine ltd Church road Ressingland Suffolk Seriel Number on the boat is 102 it is a fair age but in good condition. Do you have any information on the boat as when it was built or anything else that you could tell me. Maybe the company that built it no longer existes. It was built as a sailing boat it is 19 feet long. Regards George
