Got an old boat in the attic / loft /garage?

Dig it out, take a couple of photos (a side shot of the hull is best) and we will do our best to identify it. Just e-mail the photos with a brief description, main dimensions and any background information and we will do the rest. This mystery boats submitted to date are here
