This is Cherub dinghy K2350 aka Peanuts. According to Jim Champ, Cherub expert and author of theCherub website this is quite an illustrious old dinghy in Cherub history having been the top UK boat around 1974-76 and the only UK Cherub to finish in the top 10 in the 1974 Worlds. It is believed to be a Forman 4D and at the time of the 1974 World Championships was wholly outclassed by the Australian and NZ boats. It's high placing was the result of skilled sailing by its crew, Tony and Jill Hows.

In these pictures it doesn't look too bad but the port side tank is leaking due to a crack along the port chine. This needs to be investigated.
