The ad says Hobie, I think not. The rudders don't look Hobie. The hull shape is wrong. A Sol Cat perhaps?

Gahamby,

If you don’t mind me asking, when and where did you get that 15? I wonder if it might be one I had and sold in Florida 92-9 3ish. I’ll try to find some old pics with my sail number, can’t remember right off hand.

Mine was 629. I’d like to find it just to see where it’s been.

Definitely a Sol Cat---BUT It looks too small to be an 18, I think it is a 15!! That would be a very cool boat!

No jib blocks on the front beam, uni rigged..

I didn't think the 15s came with dagger boards, though?

tnell, My sail# is 315. Bought it out of Reading, PA.
Tom Haberman remembers the original owner. It's defiantly a PA boat.
Email Tom at Aquarius. If anyone can trace your old 15 he can.

Dan, going to have to disagree with you on the 15 foot length.It looks 18 to me. Hmm, legal! On second thought it might be 15'
It defiantly has dagger board trunks. I won't be dragging it out.

definitely not a Dart 18, rudder set-up looks like Prindle 15,16 or 18 ,as do sails ,not boom, but not a prindle
