Little sister to the beachcomber according to Blandford. Go on Nigel it's only in trowbridge and you know you want to!

Wah Nessa,

sailed one of these in days of old - and a Bonito too! Like Dave C I do not recall it being so bad, in fact I thought it prett nifty on a beam reach. As was said earlier..... lots of wetted area aft, so a total dog in light airs unless you're about dress size 0 (do male sailors have dress sizes??)

Hi all,

I did see the Seabat & was tempted but I am "upsizing" as befits a man of my stature.

The photo you attached is actually a Beachcomber (I also own that boat). The Seabat has no cockpit/footwell so would kill my knees.

There is also a Sailfish on there at the moment:

Someone buy them and we can open a Lateen section

A Sprog? One of my maths masters at school had one, used to be a fleet on the Thames at Middle Thames and Babbacombe. A South African boat is this one?

Looks like a Grad to me. If the sail number matches the hull she was built round about 1968 and was originally called "Magician"

Could be worth 99p just to get myself a wooden mast and boom.
