It looks like a Dyer. Do you have the mast, rudder and sail? Those Dyer's sail
pretty good. They tend to be flexi if the gunnels aren't new and stiff. It helps to
have the original floor boards because that stiffens the bottom which can be
flexi too.

Cheers,
Ellen

Those two pictures aren't the best to tell much of anything. Maybe basic shape.
It's all splotchy and dull. It's shaped like a Dyer but maybe no chine there. But it's
hard to see if there's a chine because the pictures are dull or the hull is dull and
splotchy. So gimme a break, please....

Maybe, maybe not. Let me know what your eyeglass
prescription is when you get to be my age.

They do if you know what to look for.

... Maybe basic shape.

Which is one of the most important things about a boat, no?

Correct. But then, it's not finished yet. Besides, that's
only on the surface. Superficial, you know?

Good! My boat does not have a chine. This is an important
observation.

Give you break? You make remarks without observing first,
and then demand respect for your uninformed opinions? I *am*
giving you a break, I am helping you learn better.

Not at all. I am holding you to a somewhat higher standard.

Like anything else geing built, character needs a foundation...solid and
impervious, to start with. I think you may need to shore this one up....
