ID this Yacht or I Scuttle Her

[daddle]

So, boat experts, what boat is under this grime? Fin keel, Skeg hung rudder. Looks like an IOR nightmare hull form. No HIN found.

Thanks in advance.

That's someones pride a joy

A bit of elbow grease and she'll be as new. Well maybe a good bit of elbow grease and a lot of love...

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, and giving itself a wedgie!!--IOR.

[Lagoon4us]

Forward sections of cabin kind of detract from IOR ...BUT maybe an IOR with a aftermarket cabin added to it?

I think there's a degree of homebuilt or modified possibly.....

Interesting Cheers

Not that many older boats had HIN's especially low volume yards.

Is it GRP, Foam, cold moulded????

[sdowney717]

give it away to someone or are there no takers?

It's a ChiaBoat. From the same product line as the ChiaPet, ChiaCat, ChiaHomer and ChiaShrek.
Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia.

Hah...that's hilarious.

Nothing ior about that unless she is early 70s. I am a racer in the quarter tonner class and am well familar with the late stage "ior disease". Im even in the Isle of wight as we speak racing i the quarter tonner cup and round island race on a early 80s and now irc optimized quarter tonner.

IOR usually had oil can front and rear ends with huge beams, nose down trims, scoops at least 30 cm o er the water etc....

She just looks like an early 80s coastal cruiser? I could be totally wrong and it wouldnt be the first time. More pics from different angles and some specs such as length would help.

Gosh, what a nightmare. I can just imagine how rolly that thing is.

Yea, fun to race, not so fun to just sail on

If you are not too far from Oz, I would suggest it might be an Endeavour Half Tonner.
Endeavour Yachts was churning out 24 and 26 footers in the 70's, but they also made a boat around 30' as well.

The cabin and cockpit would be the giveaway. Any more pics?

Strange bow, looks like they built up from an old mould to get a bit more freeboard.

I was thinking a Bruce Roberts design.

Has echos of a She 31 - but mostly to me looks generic from the 1970's. Might not be IOR, but probably inspired by that thinking - for the sales / marketing if nothing else.
