Original thread on another forum

I woudl be expecting a search and rescue mission soon

Mojo should be commended on his participation, nicely handled. It isn't easy to remain positive and encouraging when faced with a crowd of really ignorant people giving terrible advice.

At least one of them seemed to know what he was talking about...

boats can/will suck money out of a black hole.

Now if it had a really hot blonde with very little on holding a martini,

Two out of three of those statements are factually impossible. Pick the two impossible conditions (and why) and you'll get a prize from Teaky's bottom right desk drawer.

it's got to be a Melges 24's ugly sister pre planning hull.

Pre planning hull? How about no planning. A lot of nice hard chines to plane on though.

I droped a line to the CIA, they are sending an drone....

please clear all nice boats from surrounding berths

Looks like an early MARCONI 20. Used for small scale pirate radio. Then again it could be a 4 KSB MARCONI 20.

It's about 20', in England, and I don't know much more. Bloke on another forum bought it and is trying to figure out what it is. I'm just trying to help him avoid doing something stupid with it (like take it for a nice sail in the Channel).

I don't even know where to start looking.

Definitely Brighton Marina in Sussex. It appears to have a Proctor Mast, do they know? Looks like the deck was attached to the hull the wrong way round.

I hate when I do that.

Taking a wild guess..... Its the UK so not only are there no hot blondes but it would be too cold to have very little on. What did I win?

 

[Icedtea]

Eh this suggestion could catch a bit of flak but whatever.....

Maybe we should suggest on that forum that he comes over here for some advice? Being made aware of course of the ridiculous bollocking he will get first....

It's a watch forum, unlikely to be full of experts on boats, and here is as full of at least people who think they are..

Or shall we just just go "fuck it" and take the bollocking to him? Field trip anyone?

Well we all have the hate on for this 4ksb. This picture has a boat off the port quarter tied to the sea wall. NOW WHAT IS THAT BOAT ? Blue dodger and chrome dorades.

stranger danger...

I wouldn't take that thing to a rock fight.

Looks like an Excalibur 36, a '60s Van de Stadt.

 

[Pertinacious Tom]

it is ugly and slow, but i am curious as to whether or not that mast pivots back underway and the two baby for-stays are to stabilize it.

No. If they are to remain tight during stepping of the mast, such stays have to be attached someplace in the extended line of the pivot pin around which the mast rotates. Those are forward and below. The mast can't go back unless they are released.

 

[Rondog]

a MacQuacker?

 

[WhoaTed]

It is ugly, but mainly because it's trying very hard to be something it's not.

The hull is a GRP pastiche of a gentleman's pocket cruiser from the 1920s or 30s, the hull shape gives lots of interior room, sufficient for one or two gentlemen to live comfortably when in port or safely at anchor in some secluded backwater.

Or a couple dozen chickens. Coop it, I say.

Don't see a rainbow or = sticker on it, so not sure if it was ever used to its intended purpose ("sufficient for one or two gentlemen to live comfortably when in port or safely at anchor in some secluded backwater"). Hey, nuthin' against gays, but well, they're gay.

 

[Grande Mastere Dreade]

my two cents

looks like it was intended to be trailered...

holy cow, can those coming boards be any taller?

 

[Kirwan]

The part that really frightens me is that it looks like that blue tarp is covering some large hole in the general vicinity of the anchor locker. I think It's really a sort of 'tiger trap', to snare anyone who might be foolish enough to actually set foot on the foredeck.

Failing that, one hopes the hole can double as a scoop for self scuttling when the first wave gets over that bow.

The guy seems nice enough. I didn't want to subject him to this place.

Those watch guys, you know, sometimes tick in a different way (me excepted).
