    Hi can anybody suggest a way to identify my boat? Newly acquired but quite old I should imagine, no idea what it is!

    Lol! Alan's suggestion is fantastic place to begin...hehe

    I just went through this myself this week and the good folks here helped me identify my boat in no time.

    Originally I looked for any model and serial number plate. Failing that, I checked the sail for any numbers or anything. I found nothing helpful on mine so turned to here and voila! Search over.

    Obvious with hindsight!

    Ah Alan, an obvious starting point with hindsight can't believe I didn't think!

    Styling on that suggests it's pre HIN requirements, so you're just going to have to get lucky with someone who's seen or owned one before.

    Looking at the trailer, I'm guessing that you are in Cambridge England?

    To expand on Alan's brilliance, add some different vantage points, you know, various views.
