I recently took possession of this sailboat and have no information about it. I was hoping if I posted a few pictures someone would be able to tell me about it. The over all length is 7'6". I do have the sail and other items that came with the boat. Thank you.

One of the many FRP boats made through the years. Looks like a nice dinghy. Check the transom or the daggerboard well for a number in the Fiberglass. It might give you a clue to the manufacture.
Unroll the sail and post a photo of the insignia.There are a lot of small dinghy built by home builders and regional builders. It may be a challenge to find more information.

Any info from the previous owner. I’d stast looking close to home. The first place would be the LA area. In the 60’s and 70’s there were a lot of boat builders turning out fiberglass boats. The sail insignia did not spark any possibilities with the major makers.
Someone had to make it. There could be a marking or engraving on the wood near the mast base.

That is a pretty little boat, and seems to have been well cared for. I'm surprised the previous owner of a boat like that didn't know its history. It looks like it could have been a home build, although much nicer than most. Most production boats since around 1970 have a plaque or molded in identification.
