This boat was advertised for sale for £800 , details were:
My family are not interested in sailing, hence am selling this boat which was built by my father and passed on to me.
I then fully restored it, in homage to him, see photos, stripping back to plywood, re-taped ( SP epoxy resin), fibreglass blanket on hull around centre board to protect against shingle damage when dragged on a shore, 2 pack epoxy marine boat paint. Since restoration it has only been sailed once on the Helford estuary and for the remainder of the time it has been stored inverted, with bungs opened, on the modified road trailer, covered in butyl rubber pond liner.
