Got this little boat gave to me and was wanting to restore it. I am just not sure what it is. The hull is roughly 14’x4’, mast is a sloop/macaroni rig that is 17’ and boom is 9’. Has an aluminum rudder.

I've attempted an enlargement of possible manufacturer's markings, but the image (while larger) isn't clear. :( If there are numbers (like your boat may have) they could point to a helpful description: possibly using centimeters—like 30.2 for length.

If I don’t find exact model of boat what weight should I shoot for on the fiberglass hull or how would I find out? And what about the rigging I can’t seem to find a sloop/macaroni rigged “boardboat”.
The exact deminsions are oal 13’ 7” beam is 46”. Mast is 17’ 1” and boom is 8’ 7”. And by the way thanks for all of your efforts in the hunt.

As for weight, this site shows (a heavy) 175 pounds; whereas, a Sunfish is (a one-person) 135:

While Howmar makes decent boats, Sunfish parts are deliverable to your door in days. :cool:

Having left my three beach catamarans behind, I started my "board-boat" sailing with a Porpoise II :oops: "orphan" :(.

Pardon my obvious bias, but the painle$$ $wap to a Sunfish was very worthwhile—and now I have five! :confused:
