Any ideas on what boat this is?

[slowflyer]

This hull/keel was given to me. It measures 50 inches in length, is made of fiberglass and looks to be kind of old. maybe 30 years or so. It had a small rubber snubber on the front which I still have.

I don't have the hatch, mast or sails but do have the rudder and other small parts.

Any ideas on where to get the rubber strip material to make up the hatch would be appreciated. The hull is basically sound and in good shape besides needing some light sanding and paint.

Do you guys think it is worth investing in sails and a mast for it? Your help/input is appreciated.---Rob

That looks like an Amen Eclipse, with a Soling
50 type hatch opening. Mine had a flat hatch.

And YES, it's a great fun sized marblehead, doubtful it would be competitive against a Walicki Skalpel, but for the price, a mast and set of sails, you'll have a fine sailing boat.

Not sure what rubber molding or strip you're looking for, though cockpit hatch coaming might work.

Yep, that definately looks very similar. Thanks for the reply---Rob
