Elizabeth No. 36

paddy dillon
don’t know but i think the photo is in clontraf
-
Mermaid Sailor
Paddy, yes the photo is in Clontarf. The angle of the shear strake on this boat is distinctive, also note the deck width.
-
Mermaid Sailor
While the photo is in Clontarf, the boat is not from Clontarf.
-
-
-
Clare
No 17 but cant remember the name
-
Clare
Changd my mind it is no 18 Clare
-
Mermaid Sailor
It’s neither 17 Maeve nor 18 Claire!

Is it Celia No.5, also any possibilty of an open forum i am restoring a mermaid at the moment and would appreciate some questions answered by mermaid sailors, cheers
-
Mermaid Sailor
Kinearly – no it’s not Celia No. 5. Hint – the boat carries a girl’s name!
Good point on open forum. I’ll put one together. In the meantime check out the Akita page via GALLERY

kinearly
Check it out !!!! i printed it off and now know it backwards,
Sean Rooney, Joe Boylan, Jim Dempsey, Paul Winters & Sam Shiels have all patient and generous with the time and knowledge without them dont think we would have got so far. Roll on 2011 season.-
Mermaid Sailor
But do you know the boat?
-
-
Patrick
Can you make it that we can enlarge the image?
-
Clare
As it is a girls name would it be no 76 Helen as Jill would normally sail over from Dun Laoghaire and would not be on the hard
-
Mermaid Sailor
It’s not Helen!
-
-
Mermaid Sailor
Sorry Patrick, that’s all you get – do you want to make it too easy?
-
-
paddy dillon
Aideen 113
-
Mermaid Sailor
Paddy, it’s neither 113 Una C, nor is it 21 Aideen!
Nor is it a clubmate of either of these two boats……
-
-
paddy dillon
Deirdre no. 90
-
Mermaid Sailor
Not Deirdre! The late Peter Dunne would be shocked at the thought, particularly when you realise which boat is in the photo.
-
-
Patrick
Did she compete in the last 2 championships?
-
kinearly
Elizabeth No 36
-
Mermaid Sailor
Well done Alan. It’s Elizabeth. She has a slightly different shape on the Shear Strake, due to modifications where she was widened. All legal I’m assured!

Here’s a view of the transom of a well known boat – she’s fast too, the transom is the most common view that most Mermaiders have of this boat.

Well done Martin. All have won four times or more. The photo of Boat A, may actually be a photo of Elf’s twin sister 31 Eva, it’s taken from Paul Smyth’s book
