| I also have another toy yacht which I have
restored. The hull length is 18 inches and the hull was originally varnished.
I have found on the web an identical shaped yacht of slightly larger
proportions and an over the top rig (restored by a dealer) so would
assume these were commercially made.
Please see both pictures for comparison.
Although quite light and small my yacht sailed nicely at the Rick
pond the other day

I think that the
existence of two such similar hulls does indeed suggest that they
are of commercial origin. That said, I have nothing more to offer.
I don't think I have seen a catalogue or advert representation of
anything quite like this. RP

Difficult to tell from the photos provided, but the give away is the
rudder of the lower cutter under 'Gaff Cutter' with its characteristic
narrow profile and protruding rudder stock with the metal tiller just
discernable against the planking background. Typical Sugg (see also
correspondence under 'Family Yacht'); and the colour scheme is a giveaway
though the profile is unusual for Sugg in my experience.
