What Yacht is this?.

(1/3) > >>

Big Ada:
Our Club have been given this Yacht Hull to complete.
Its about a Meter long at a guess,  no internals,  steering is by ( not sure as some mechanical brass bits came with it ).
So do you have suggestions to what it is and what sail type to fit.


Thanks for any answers.

Len.

The steering is vane steering and the yacht has a similar shape to the old Alexander racing yacht should have a stamp on the deck if it is a Alexander

Hi Len.
 although cant see it too well from the pic you have posted appears to have a vane steering gear on the rudder although looking at where it is it may be a braine gear. An overhead shot would comfirm more.   Seems to have turnbuckles on it which would suggest wire rigging and a deck stepped mast.  Looking at the style of the rudder would suggest pre-1960 model.  It could be a 36r  thats had a cabin added as the deck house in front looks out of place.

The r in 36r denotes radio.
36 means three feet not a meter.
A yacht of the age would have been measured in inches.

 get it right. R36R. denotes radio.  36r is 36in restricted.  O0
