What boat is this??

[karsten]

Hello all:

Some unknown donor dropped of a sail boat hull in my classroom. I would like to know much more about it. I hope someone here can help.

I only have the hull, keel with bulb, and deck. This is what I know:
Made from fiber glass.
50" long. 10" beam. 12" keel.
Made by Dumas (according to stamp inside hull).
Looks like a fast boat.

I searched for Dumas boats but have not found anything in this size range. It seems to be an older model that is not made any longer. Any ideas?

I would like to know the class, some dimensions for rigging, photographs, original plans even.

Thanks.

Dumas Bingo maybe? Does it look like this?

It is a Dumas Bingo.

Great. I love the internet.

Thanks for the reply. First answer was right on.

FYI, for more information you might look around for information about "marblehead" class boats. This is the class the Bingo was designed for, quite a few years ago. More information at www.amya.org.
