Return of the Mystery Boat game for 2009
Return of the Mystery Boat game for 2009
Hi All,
16ft (allegedly) Wood, and not one I immediately recognise (I did wonder about it being a Hornet but the insignia on the sail does not bear that out).

Any ideas?

GP 14?
The Rudder is in the stock back to front.
Failing a GP a Sprog?

Simples.

Can't be anything but a GP measured with the ebay tape measure.

Hi all,
it does have the look of a GP but:
16ft? 2ft is a big error even for the ebay tape measure
I cannot make out the sail insignia but it is definately not a bell
It sounds like it comes with a trapeze harness
I am still sat on the fence on this one.

Even he questions the length...
It has a GP rudder, a GP deck layout, a GP hull shape, a GP everything, really...

Hi Rupert,

What do you make of the sail?

Re: Return of the Mystery Boat game for 2009
He's obviously guessing the length - says AROUND 16ft and yes it's got to be a Jeep. Can't make out any insignia on the sail!
Re: Return of the Mystery Boat game for 2009
Yes the rudder is in the wrong way round. The sail is a spinnaker so would not have an insignia anyway. It is probably the way it is laying and has had various pen marks on it at various times.
Definitely a GP though.

There was a 16' Enterprise for sale recently, so what's wrong with a 16' GP?

And Yachts and Yachting were advertizing a 14' Enterprise as an alternative to the Wayfarer in an article recently, so they've borrowed the ebay tape, too...

Re: Return of the Mystery Boat game for 2009
Yep, isa GP and yep the blade is in the stock the wrong way. I use a GP blade for one of my Merlins and never thought about doing that, is there an advantage? Perhaps my 18' N12 could use a rudder like that especially when I set the 165 sq ft of canvas on her.
