That looks familiar but I can't quite place it. Anyone else?

I want to say it's either a 5.2 or a 5.8...
i'm probably wrong though.

And i think it isn't, because it has daggerboards. no traveler and a wrap around tramp.

it appears to have a dolphin-striker

does it have any numbers at the back of the right hull?

and for the usa members wasn't there a similar looking usa cat that came in hulls looking like that but ALSO a version with banana shaped hulls?

You must be thinking of the Venture 15, but it's hulls are quite a bit different.

Could it be one of Chrysler's boats - the hulls look a bit like they did - mid 70's and called a mutineer or musketeer or mouseketeer or something

The hull shape does look like the Musketeer, but the way the beams attach is different as well as the daggerboard slots. Seeing just the hulls lying on the ground makes identification a lot harder.

I've got some pics of the Chrysler cat here.

There is one of these Chrysler cats for sail on ebay. Still with "original" Chrysler trailer I believe it said.

Always funny to see sales brochures with no PFD's anywhere to be found.

That isn't it, we are coming close though.
Any other thoughts?
