Thread: Can anyone identify this small boat for me at all?

  1. #1

    Can anyone identify this small boat for me at all?

    I’ve just bought a garage and the owner has left this boat inside which they no longer want so have asked me to dispose of…Haven’t got the keys to the garage yet so only have this photo to go by…
    Thanks guys…

    I know nothing about boats, but I won't let that hold me back. Could it be a Laser?

    No a Laser has a rear transom, eg the ropes from the boom go across the back

    Either way it AND the trailer has value. Once you get access there are a few sailors on her PickleB? Who with better photos will identify it.

    That is a Fireball.

    https://www.fireballsailing.org.uk/

    An excellent and popular class.

    There will be a sail number marked on the seat in the middle, probably 14000-15000.

    Let me know and I may be able to help.

    Any kit with it? Mast or sails.

    I’ve never seen a foiling Fireball.

    I think you may be looking at a photo of a Quant which looks a similar hull shape.

    Of course it is. A Hollingsworth lake regular. I can stop pondering now.

    I love a Fireball, raced one in the early 70s.
