Rule 1) MaineSail CANNOT play.........he knows the answer.
Rule 2) There is no prize........due to budgetary constraints.

Well old son, that kind of a boat is a sailboat. I don't know who built it, or who designed it but I have no doubt that it is a sailboat.

Guess Ross wins round 1..................onto round 2 with a new rule.............

Rule 3) since Ross is being all technical...............Make and Model please.

knew I could count on you to define parameters my friend.

make and model

who cares, it floats and I'll bet there's a sail under that cover, needs paint, and I'll bet you can sleep at least 4 in the cabin, so what more do you need? What is your motivation?

Hello Members,

My guess: The boat is an Overbuilt 9.4. I was counting shrouds and forestays.....There appear to be a few more than on the "average" boat. Of course, it is a 9.4 instead of a 9.2 because the length is extra too.

The real questions are: How does it sail? Do you need crew? Should I bring lunch?

Boy, I can sure feel the love in this room......................
And you're right doesn't really matter but I thought I'd have a little fun with it (thanks for playing along). It's a 10m, built in 1971 (hey Maine......they guy couldn't read his own paperwork). And Bill............there is no prize (new boat and all), cuz it's not a C30. And yes it is DEFINITELY overbuilt Phil. Gonna post the answer about Lunchtime.....................wanna see if anybody gets it but none are right yet.
BTW..................I do have a US25 for sale (cheap) now. Gotta make room for the new one (pm if ya wanna know more about her). New clue enclosed for the game...............

Wow, I have never seen that many shrouds on a boat before. I am curious about this model. A 10M? Never heard of it before. Looks like she needs a little TLC. Is the topping line missing?

Princess..............10 meters is 32 feet. TLC yes.
Lou............didn't see it before, but it sure looks like one.
All U Get....................nevermind, between You and Ross (Maine and Roger as well), I am NEVER bored.

That, campers............................is my new to me...................... 1971..................10 meter...............NAJAD

After some research I have found they are still around (the older ones that is), but finding ones w/o the teak decking are scarce. Finding a 10m is scarcer still, and the pilot berth version is really rare. The fact that I found it in Oklahoma, of ALL places, is a small miracle. Probably won't say what I paid for her because that was the REALLY cool part.

THANKS TO ALL on the forums who helped me with the info and research.

Cap'n Jake is the Oklahoma Sailing Association sorta like the Swiss Navy? ;) I know that they have fair water there in lakes and rivers but isn't it kinda hard to get into open salt water from there. :)

I'm in love with her RAD, she's BEYOND overbuilt. I used to sit in Jupiter Inlet on my Carter 33 and drool about these things and knew I'd never make enough to own one. I said I wasn't gonna do it, BUT; I gave $5000 for the boat. Even blind pigs find truffles every now and then I guess.
Ross...........it's hard to do but we can head down the McClellan-Kerr nav system to the Arkansas then into the Mississippi and on to New Orleans. I always thought the Swiss navy would be beyond cool with Magnus Holmberg as Commander in Chief and saing into battle on Najad 570's. Not sure where they'd find anyone to fight though.
