hello all, we just purchased what is titled as a 1965 lapworth 24. she does not look like any other 24's i have seen. hull number is G100X. i think she is several years older than listed. any ideas? i will get a folder titled "two karat" posted next.

The Lapworth 24 is the boat Robin Lee Grahm sailed almost all the way around the world, The Dove. Check it out. My Cal 24 is similar but with a low aspect keel, centerboard and paddle rudder like a cat boat, designed to be trailerable, and with lower freeboard. Your Lapworth 24 is Historical and Folklore-ickl, as the Tappet Brothers would say (Click and Clack).
