I think the same as Peter that Minnow is not a WA boat. Didn't the WA boats have a fixed front hatch, or have I got that wrong? The boat has a lot of similarities to Timeless, #50. Rudder is exactly the same, cutouts to fit the taffrail and all. Same toerail too. In the third pic, what's the bit of ...

Mishka has been sold, but the previous owner's son (who crewed on Mishka) believes that it was a double hinge job. So not absolutely definitive, but until the current owners contact us, or we see a better pic, we could say that #107 Mishka is the first of the 2 hinge model. Edit: This has been prove...

Peter, good suggestion re photo. It's been added. Just a reminder to everyone, if you have any pics that you would like in the gallery, add a post in an existing topic or start a new one.

Ray, while we are here, can you nail down the change points that you have pointed out? When I read your posts in the topic I have linked to, is it boats up to #54 had the early transom, #55 on the later type? And the single/double hinge - you reference #107, but is that the last of the singles or th...

Hi Peter,

Yes, my early boat has one (diamond stay setup) but my later one has two (upper and lower shrouds). So it looks like it probably wasn't related to production dates, but maybe an offered choice?
