just a theoretical question

[angus]

I don't think I have any intention of buying another boat at the momeny but I must admit I do hanker after a glued ply boat (a proper clinker one would be too much like hard work) and I nntice 3133 8s up for sail again. so the obvious question is would she be allowed to compete in vintage meets?

Hi Angus  3133 is a vintage boat and would be most welcome on the vintage circuit even with you at the helm.  The term vintage is defined as overlapping planks and includes ribbed and glued boats.  I was surprised to see that such a late boat had been built as a clinker hull but non the less she fits the definition as far as I can see and looks in very good nick.  Hope Agent Orange wont be jealous and just think you will be able to practice for Thorpe Bay!  Are you still thinking of sailing Starfish?
