Ahoy

I am looking to rig my 8 meter Scuffy hull believe it was built in the 1980's

I am wondering if anyone can help me identify this boat and advise what size mast would suit my 8m hull?

I am looking at purchasing a 9 meter mast, I don't have much experience with shallow keel boats

The Blue Hull is my boat the white hull is a photo of a similar boat from the Mercury Times

Thanks in Advance

I don't think it's a Fisher 26 or a Colvic Watson ?

Looks like there is not much weight in the keel, and a lot topside. Do you have details of the underwater shape? It may only be suitable for a small steadying sail.

If you need some rigging advise & parts, Whale Spars at Peats Ridge are very helpful.
Roy can measure up and work out of the G.S.C.

The hull looks very similar to a Swanson
