Looks like an 11+...no idea of size on the ad, though.

Hmmm he has owned it for 2 years, even, without working out how to spell...

Mark,

Don't be too generous: this was advertised about a fortnight ago with the words '11+' writ large!!!!!!!

I missed that, but they are pretty distinctive, really, and not that rare...

Sorry Rupert........... very amiss of me! A cheap shot!!!
I always put the 11+ in the same class as the Lazy E - an okay boat that had little wrong but equally not fantastically right.

100% better than a gull or heron though

Cheap shots are always the best! I think the 11+ must have been a little harder to build than the Mirror, so would have lost out to them much as the Gull, Embassy and Heron did. Mind you, they all sold in numbers that must leave the builders of pop out plastic boats green with envy.
Would love to have a sail in one, but as a child's play boat the Mirror looks much better, with that open foredeck area to play on!
