It should be carved inside somewhere.<br /><br />My Dad bought no 530, Pampero, after getting fed up capsizing the Heron that my brother and I had managed to acquire (I know they're difficult to capsize, but father was a latecomer to sailing and went out with friends who didn't understand the finer points about where to sit). Pampero has been restored, I believe, and is in the Lake District.<br /><br />Our sailing on these things was in the mid sixties and the Brither will remember a lot of the boats, as he has total recall, thanks to a sober lifestyle.<br /><br />I seem to think that after the first few hulls built by Uffa Fox the older boats came from Chippendale or Tormentor, the former being fuller in the forward sections. Pampero was a Chippendale and the top veneer was diagonal.<br /><br />I recently posted video footage of the Argyll 15s going through the Dorus Mhor, it's on www.scottishboating.blogspot.com. They're very good little boats now, after the sail plan was modified from the original, a result of, I think, Uffa and the Chookyembro getting a swim.Ewanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164790608082005605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8852003173593963201.post-76392263994051563102011-02-04T08:29:30.840+00:002011-02-04T08:29:30.840+00:00I have no idea what a flying fifteen is but it loo...I have no idea what a flying fifteen is but it looks like a fun and maybe wet sail. Does it have a spinaker?<br />Also it looks like a doable job. I hope you like varnishing. What about a teak deck instead of this plastic thing?Anders Eliassonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783490830486625612noreply@blogger.com
