Boat shown in pics is a MKI

[edit]

Hi,

great article. Thank you for writing it. But the boat shown in the pictures is a F24 MK I.

Regards

How do you differentiate them? - Ahunt (talk) 12:14, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the fast reply.
F241
fixed mast
"square" windows
kick up rudder mounted under transom
sliding hatch
centerboard
interior with "kitchen" along the portside
F242
rotating mast
"roundish" windows
transom mounted kickup rudder
pop top as a hatch
daggerboard
interior 'naked' with optional galley to port of the daggerboard case
I'll take photos next time I'm at the boat. F242Lihou (talk) 16:55, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay thanks for the info. I'll rework the article to cover both versions. If you can upload photos of a Mk II to Commons for use in the article that would be very helpful! - Ahunt (talk) 18:32, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have reworked the article to cover both models now. all we need is a photo of a Mark II if you have one! - Ahunt (talk) 14:40, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No proper sailing one for an article. But I'll ask the F24 Forum on groups.io which is THE resource for the F24 owners. 2003:C5:3729:D200:901B:5112:25EE:E4B6 (talk) 15:28, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Even a nice shot of it at the dock would be good for now! Do be aware that whomever took the photo has to be the one to upload it and licence it at Commons! - Ahunt (talk) 17:17, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
