Another old warhorse up for grabs. No idea what design this is but probably 1970's vintage or older.

Also this weird looking thing, described as "Cherub upgrade". I'm 99.9% certain it's not a Cherub - there is far too much rake on the stem - but can't work out what it actually is. Anybody care to take a guess? The vendor has also posted a video with more hull detail.

DOn't think it is a cherub.
From the video it sounds like it is currently owned by Mr  "Number Withheld".

That orange one has been on ebay before, cant have sold it. Surely a Spencer 7 ?

I love the sidetanks, when I was a nipper in 1835 it was the sidetanks that were a distinctive feature, lower at the gunwale and thinner at the foredeck.

Actually this one looks in fair shape, lovely project ....

Went for £51, bargain if the sails are usable. I have mailed the old owner to pass onto the new owner.
