Thread: Flying Eleven?

Hi Everyone, So I've finally stopped dreaming about other boats to build and have decided on fixing up this one. I want to do it as cheaply as possible and just get out there and sail. Sorry the pictures are backwards and not very good as I used the computer.
The sail has F 337 and a black shield on it- made by Miller & Whitworth, sydney.
The halves of the mast have delaminated. (no photo)
Some of the stringers have parted from the plywood.
The plywood is all in good condition except the deck.
The bloke I bought it from had new sails made by Gemmel and new stainless rigging. The trailer was new and I paid $600 for the lot so i got the boat for free. I have oars & a paddle also.
My thoughts are to sand under the stringers and the seat and squirt some epoxy in there and strap it up. I will unscrew all the rigging on the mast and glue it together with epoxy.
A lot of the varnish is coming off and the last bloke painted it black.
How should I get the paint off? Also missing is the lower pintle.
What I like about it is it seems to come from an era where the boat had to do many tasks. It has oarlocks and the transom is braced to take a small outboard. i want it to sail and go fishing with the kids.
I don't want to pull it all apart- just the minimum.
Unless of course someone says "Don't touch it- that's Iain Murray's first boat! I'll give ya a million bucks for it!'
Thanks.
ps it measures exactly 11' bow to transom so i am assuming it's a Flying 11, but i got on the Flying 11 site and it seems they were cold molded and this one certainly isn't!
Any ideas as to what it is?
