Re: Unknown Saudi Dinghy - with sliding seat
Thank you Nigel for pointing me to that excellent website for MINISAILs and MINISPRINTs. There was an excellent B&W diagram but no photos. Andy - I would really appreciate some close up photos of the sliding seat - tray. Its great fun to sail but when I hike out on the plank and then then the w...

Re: Unknown Saudi Dinghy - with sliding seat
Hello Nigel - Thanks for suggesting that my boat might be a MINISPRINT . I could only find one small photo of such a boat on the internet (yellow hull) and it does have a sliding seat arrangement that is similar to mine but it must be a different model or vintage. If anyone out there has any other ...

Unknown Saudi Dinghy - with sliding seat
Does anybody recognize what sort of boat this used to be before the excessive number of pulleys were removed and I turned it into a pseudo-Sunfish? I would really like to see some photos showing what the "sliding seat" should look like. Seat design #1 is not working very well - I tried a f...

Re: Unknown 13'-2" dinghy found in Arabia
Thanks a lot to everyone who responded. I found this picture of what an INTERCLUB has evolved into by 2007. It has changed in many ways over the ~30 years. Although my vintage boat doesn't have much curvature along the top edge - the 2007 model has recovered the upwards "swoop" that was sh...

Re: Unknown 13'-2" dinghy found in Arabia
Wow ! I am amazed that anyone in the U.K. would have been able to identify those letters and suggest I check the Half Moonbay Yacht Association. I'm the Sunfish Fleet Captain for that very same association and have indeed rifled thru a filing cabinet or two - trying to find some info on a few of our...

Re: Unknown 13'-2" dinghy found in Arabia
This part of the bow looks great - but there is a nasty two foot long crack in the skin at the stern that will be a challenge to repair.

Unknown 13'-2" dinghy found in Arabia
Found next to a sand dune - a 4.04 meter long 1.55 meter wide fiberglass dinghy - at least 30 years of age - double skinned bottom with a pivoting centerboard but not much else. Well I did stumble across a triangle of fiberglass (the spraydeck) nearby in the desert and amazingly it fits! Does anyon...
