  We are indebted to Bob Jackson for this 1969 picture of his Junior taken in Brisbane Australia. At 70 years old he's planning to build another one - good for you Bob!
 
 
 
 

  Another Junior Sailing Dinghy!!!! 

 

                         

 

 		 This boat was advertised in 2004 on E-Bay.  the young chap selling it and the purchaser were in touch.  We hope to have more pics of the boat when it is refurbished.  There are not too many about these days, so we are hoping to see more pics in the near future.

 

Well here are the pics!  Well worth waiting for.  April 2005 and Scotty has, true to his word, sent these two nice pictures of his Junior, rigged and wet!  Well done!  We hope Scotty is going to send a few more in so we can see a few more details of this rare class.!!  There were never that many about, and this is only the second we have pictures of.  Long may she give pleasure!

April 05, more pics in, thanks Scotty!

hidden in the undergrowth!

Stepping the mast.

It floats, but does that Seagull go?

 Judging by the grin, and the wash, it does!

All in all a nice selection of pics of a Junior.  We wonder how many others are out there...  They were often built as a trial to see if building a boat was a possibility for a prospective owner.  I heard of a few used as row boats only, but the owners went on to build bigger!
 
 
 
 

 John Stevens snapped this little gem at St. Oysth, Essex.  He thinks it is a Junior with a Senior type cabin on top! a 'Jenior' he calls it!  We are trying to find out more!
 
 
 
 

No it is not a Junior!  But is is a Kenneth Gibbs design, a 14 ft clinker dinghy Ian Skinner used to own years ago.  Pics courtesy of Ian.
     
 

Built at Shepperton on the Thames it was design 142, boat number 49.
     
 

Does anyone know what the design was called?
