Hi All,
Picked up a wooden sailing(racing) dingy, about 12'.
I live on the Central Coast of California.
A 'Crown' symbol is on the mainsail (has a jib, too).
Also appears to have a crown symbol on
the casting used on the transom.
The design sports a pair of rotating/retractable leeboards;
- Each in its' own well.
VERY light hull, fully-contoured (no angles) of what looks
like 1/4" thick strips about 6" wide, lightly glassed
on the outside, running diagonally to a small keel strip.
I have researched the symbol, looking on the net for
a "Crown" or "Royal" class of dingy. No luck.
Have not found a reference to anything that
used dual leeboards AND compound-curved hull.
But then again, I'm a newbee. What is it??
Here is a link to pictures of it (cut and paste into your browser).
