1950's "Not a minisail" Mystery...

Post by Michael Brigg »

What could this be. Would certainly be a nice little tender.

Probably not sparkling performnce, but a nice creek cruiser.

It looks a little bit like a mirror crossed with one of those seaflee fold up dinghys, it could have been a one off?

It seems familiar. My first thought was a Poole AB, but the outside chine is wrong there, I think and if I remember right, they have a sidedeck.

Definitely not a Poole AB - I had one and they look exactly like a miniature Cadet.

This one does look a bit like the back half sawn off a Mirror........

No - like-ish but longer and with much less rocker and a pointy front end.
