Dinghy ID and Pintle/gudgeon question

[txmilke]

i recently acquired this dinghy. Great to row but I wouldn't mind rigging it for sail. Does anyone recognize the manufacturer/model? Also, I've never seen transom hardware like this. There's a gudgeon on on top but a long rod fitting on the bottom. Can anyone educate me on how this is supposed to work? I have a suitable sail/rig but will need to manufacture a daggerboard and rudder.
TIA.

Is that centerboard box functional?

Hard to tell from the angle of the pic. Can you get a close up from the side showing the rudder attachment?

 

[txmilke]

Yes, it is. Appears to be 10".

The rod pintle is designed to retain the lower gudgeon and allow the rudder to be raised off the top gudgeon and and clear of the bottom. I imagine it would even allow the rudder to be tilted forward. Cute little dink. Get some floatation in it.

thanks for your comment, Gunni, but not following what you're saying just yet. If the long rod on the bottom is actually a pintle, then how would a gudgeon attach removably? The rod is permanently affixed to the hull. I've seen arrangements with pintles on rudder and gudgeons on the hull (or vice versa) but how could this setup be remove able with one on each? What hardware would be on the lower part of the rudder? Is the such a thing as a removable grudge on? And What pins the rudder down?
Good comment on the floatation. Hadn't thought about that. There are inspection ports on the forward and stern bulkheads, but they're painted shut. I'll start scraping and see what's in there.

Not sure how the rod would work with the gudgeons but I'll take a guess on the boat. Going by the the mast step it might be an early Lehman Interclub. But it's hard to tell if there is a notch in the stern. Also the block on the port side of the stern might have been the attachment point for the main sheet.

Also, the maker of the boat, Shock, is still in business you might ask them if it's one of theirs.

Oooo. Looks close. Yes there's a notch in the transom for tiller. The LOA on my boat is 8'6" rather than the 10.25 for the Interclub, but I'll definitely pursue it with them.
Thanks a bunch.
