It's a Luger Seabreeze 16; the hull is the same as that of Luger's Leeward 16. I always thought it was designed to be a "Tinkerbell" imitation in kit form.

I knew it was something like that.

Thread drift: Norse, on the old combat tanks, there's three episode series on Netflix called "Our World War." It's about the Great War (WWI) and the third episode is about the experiences of a British tank crew. It is horrifying and powerful. The series is excellent.

Thanks for that. I love tank and submarine movies.

Try this one about a lost Soviet tanker crew during the invasion of Afghanistan. The crew has an Afghan interpreter and a hard nosed commander. They have a desperate struggle to find the main road again.

That's a proven technique. I've seen it work a couple of times. My theory is that if you ask a low enough price, it drives off some buyers who want a deal, not junk. Bring the price back up from "junk" to "deal" and they reappear.

Based on googling and looking at the difference in the size of the windows, I'd agree with the Slooptster that it's a crown 18, much as I'm sure there are a lot more Cal 20's especially in the US. I was going to include a picture but you can google. I include this picture which is evidently not a cal 20 just because it's so good:

 

[SloopJonB 8,316]

Sorry Blitz - the company that built that Crown 18 (Calgan Marine) was a licensed builder of the Cal 2-29 and they had a couple or 3 pretty close knockoffs of Cal designs - that 18 (Cal 20), a 23 that was basically a Cal 25 and a 28 that was pretty much a smaller Cal 2-29. There may have been others. They built a 2-29 for my uncle back then.

Another quality local builder (Davidsons) built another 18 like that  - also a close knockoff of the Cal 20 but with a swing keel option.

Looks like it's missing a rudder. The 'mass' looks short, and may be the boom. No mention of sail. It might be worth the $275 if it was complete, but as is it's going to take a sizeable investment in $ and a lot of tinkering to make operational...none of which will yield a return.

If it was complete, or nearly so, it would be great fun for kids on a lake or beach. Doesn't really matter if us old farts think it's 'cool' or not.  It is possible for kids to enjoy themselves on the water without $6000 Optis.

That's a big if. I think we're talking reality here. If it was complete, it would be great if it was free.

If I found an Oyster 82 bobbing around with a big FREE sign on it I would probably take it.

This is a pile of fiberglass dust in a momentary boat form with most of the important bits missing.

The boat must be a thoroughbred, it lives in a stall in the harbor. There certainly seems to be some subtle differences between the two pictures.

Two pictures? Zonk's crazy link led me to this pic:

And he probably should win something for finding it. It might even be a candidate for Admiration by the Society. But what's the other one?

Here's a great "retro" deal complete with a "mass" (but no rutter) and the cool retro "car" could probably be part of the deal.

That looks like it was a fun boat when it was complete. Now it looks like the centerboards, "mass" (which RKoch is right, is a boom), and surviving rutter have scrap aluminum value.

Did anyone notice that the front has fallen off the car? Most strange.

[guerdon 144]

Since it comes with mass it probably comes with a special dispensation,and if it leaks you could sell the holey water.

A closer look reveals the beauty in the beast. Notice how access is maintained by the heavy old flap all the way around forward. No need for an anchor roller on the ridgeline.

If it was complete, or nearly so, it would be great fun for kids on a lake or beach. Doesn't really matter if us old farts think it's 'cool' or not.  It is possible for kids to enjoy themselves on the water without $6000 Optis.

Good points. $6,000 for an Optimist Pram?

Could be wrong, but I think that's about the ballpark for a new one, fully equipped. Ridiculous, eh?

I heard even higher numbers. Low five figures! It makes me wonder what Clark Mills would think.

Wait a minute. You may have hit a gold mine. I think that turtle deck boat may be one of the Boeing built boats that were built in the late 50's. I have been searching all over for a photo or even a reference to one but with no luck. Are there any other photos of that boat? I can remember a time when one of those boats was raced here. Very odd boats.

I see the history lesson sold.   Does anybody know the details?

Not sure if this is worthy of mockery, but here's a "home-build, self designed" catamaran near me in Ontario. https://toronto.craigslist.ca/yrk/boa/6131842490.html

[Pedagogical Tom 1,514]

The boat might or might not be OK but that ad needs some mocking.

The Good Ship Clutterfuck!

Geez. Tangles of wire, piles of stuff, what appears to be some piece of electronics from the 1970's. There were several pictures that seemed to me more likely to unsell the boat than to sell it.

That's definitely a 2002 model so $125,000 seems like a great deal.

 

 

Yes it is an "02 model but I do like the refit  to the floral galley rug of the '04 model.
