Unknown 26ft Trailer Sailor Townsville
Hi
I have purchased a 24ft trailer sailor as a project and I would like to know who was the original manufacturer if anyone can help? I believe that the year of manufacture is around 1975 but there are no identification plates on the boat. I have had a look around at various bow and stern angles and window shapes / positioning (I know these can change if you really wanted to) but I can not seem to find a similar model. Any help would be much appreciated.

PS So far I have only serviced the trailer, emptied the boat, gave her a good inspection and stripped the electrics and the roof lining but I will get there :)

I am pretty good with boats of this vintage, but this one stumps me.

Thought the same thing, Higgs, then noticed that it is an Aussie boat.. Probably a built nearby and totally unfamiliar to us Yanks.. That tube from another post is a spinnaker quick launch/retreval device.. She must have been a racer!

Chrikee,:doh: Never saw one of those. Cockpit looks roomy. Interesting design. Somewhere there should be serial #. Let us know if you find out. Check with some of the boat bums at the marina. Good luck, Fair Winds....
P.S. I'm glad the pilgims didn't go to Australia or we'd be stuffing a Kangaroo for Thanksgiving:eek:

Hmmm, I'd say its a Canadian design. The windows with the heavy rubber gasketing remind me of Nordica / Halman design. The bow looks something similiar to any sailboat made by Clipper Marine.. I'm going to go out on a limb and say its O'Dudley out of Nova Scotia.

I have searched everywhere for any type of number with no success. I will try and find a picture of an o'Dudley to have a look at one. I am leaning towards a John Spencer design out of New Zealand but that is only a hunch with evidence at all to back it up. Thanks guys
