Re: What is it?
Don't worry about what it is Max, it looks nice enough so just buy it! If only it would be that simple Peter! I think it looks great, and structurally sound enough to sail through almost anything. But I can't afford it, so I was asking more from an academic perspective than anything else.... I hope...

Re: FREE BRITISH MOTH
Hi Lyndon, ... My oh my, does that boat have some history! Instead of being called Skiffle, it should have been named 'toxic' - given the trouble that boat got me into. I was a nice sweet boy before that.... it all went downhill from there. I was explaining to Stewart, who owns the boat, that there...

I think this may be one of our Continental friends' designs....
It looks somewhat similar to this.
I wonder if Laser Tourist has any information on this one?

Mothists from the 70's....
A bit of an odd request, but I have found (from looking through various year-books) that a certain skol moth used to be owned by: Labey P. of 1 Curridge Piece, Nr. Newbury, Berks. The boats name is Red Max, and is a skol moth (sail number K2976) http://www.keepandshare.com/userpics/m/a/x/_/mccarthy/...
