I don't know that particular type of boat but would hazard a guess it was built late 60s' maybe circa 1970 or so. Bourne Plastics ceased in 1977 according to the article in one of the links below. I knew I'd seen the name on some boats - the Skipper, a Peter Milne design. It could be, he designed the boat you have.

Some links.

My godmothers husband had a Lotus Elan circa 1967, in lime green....

 

If you look on the upper right transom you may find a hull ID number, the last few numbers usually tell the year of the vessel. Letters at the beggining are the manufacturer code.

Not much, but could give you a little more info.

 

Shipmate

Hi! I think it's a Shipmate Senior from the Small Craft co.
The company "Bourne Plastics" was a subsidiary, and manufactured the hull.

 

/\ Beat me too it - I only ever saw the Shipmate's sail plan, but it did look a lot like that.

There is a class site at

and a quick look indicates that it does look like a SS.
