Mystery Boat 5 -- this one is a real stumper, I have never seen one like it. It is 15'3" long, has a swinging centerboard (maybe metal, maybe fiberglass), not sure on the ballast, possibly internal ballast or none at all. Here is the wierd part - it has a bipod mast and single sail. The sail has a wire in the luff, and does not go into a luff groove -- it is flown like a staysail. No HIN number, so it was probably manufacturerd before 1974.     p1   p2   p3   p4   p5   p6   p7   p8   p9

My Underwater fin & keel types:
swing keel - A ballsted keel that swings down from beneath the hull.
swing centerboard - An unballasted board that swings down from beneath the hull.
daggerboard - An unballasted board that drops strait down thru the bottom of the center line of the hull.
drop keel - A ballasted daggerboard.
shoal keel - A short fixed ballasted keel.
full keel - A deep (like 2'+) fixed ballasted keel, and possibly with a ballast bulb.
wing keel - A keel with fins at the end of the keel
shoal keel / Daggerboard - A short fixed ballasted keel with an additional unballasted board that drops strait down.
shoal keel / Swing Centerboard - A short fixed ballasted keel with an additional unballasted board that swings down.
twin bilge - 2 small fixed keels, often the boat can dry out sitting upright on these.
tri bilge - 3 small fixed keels
leeboard(s) - A board that hangs from the side, either pivoting on a bolt or hung from ropes.
swing keel (or fixed) - example that the boat was manufactured in two different models
