Clipper 17??

Nah, now I've had a look at the bow, not a Clipper. It's got a bit of a Timpenny look about it??

Disraeli, if I had the room, bloody oath I would, agree its a mess but a friend has had it sitting out the back for a while. Needs a bit of patching and repaint, but seems to be a solid boat. Free, did I mention the price????????
Want to try and find out the make and do a bit of research on it. In the meantime is anyone in Brissie looking for a FREE project.

Is the old girl 6.7mtrs long...?

What's the mast like?? Fractional?

Timpenny's were about 22 foot if my memory serves me correctly

Didn,t take much notice of the rigging, was in a hurry when i called in. Will try and get back this week and have a yarn with the owner. Trailer is unbraked so i don,t think its a heavy boat. Looks like glass and ply combo.

Maybe a Cherry16 ???????

Hi , Looks like a Hartley to me , I used to have a hartley 16 and it looked very similar , very light , glass over a marine ply hull , fractional rig ,swing keel.
Catch you , Chris.

If this boat is 17 foot long and cold moulded construction I would say its a Pelin Caribou. Very popular NZ trailer sailer. Like an improved Harley 16. Its a boat that's definitely worth saving!

Looks like I have someone willing to have a go at restoring this boat. Talked to the old guy who used to sail it and he hasn,t a clue what make it is. Fractional rig, swing keel, glass over ply skin. Will be taking photo,s as she progresses. This may be a long process but hopefully will be ready for Bay to Bay.
