Found on eBay.
I have far too many boats, just ask my Wife.

Why is it plural? Wyn's? Also, that deck fairing looks a little different.

Could be the first one. That's definitely Jim driving it.

Jeff, wouldn't Jim Wynne have sported his full beard by then after crossing the Atlantic in an Outboard powered boat?

I'll bet that boat is made of wood.

I may be wrong but weren't both I and II made of wood? The more I look at that photo I don't think it is the I.
Bert, do you have the link to the Ebay ad?

Looks like a baby Fino hull right Jeff?

FOLKS , THATS THREE STRAKES THERE
Glass ones only had 2.
I agree tho, that's Jim Wynn without a beard.
Sorry for the pic quality but it's 11:30 pm, it's dark, and there's bears and cougars out there and unfortunately, ... they all have four legs
Finally!
Maybe it's just me, but the gentleman in the picture appears to have a full beard.

Yes, both WM I and II were made of wood and this is picture is definitely not WM I or a Fino. It may be WM II but, don't forget that several boats were made in England from those WM plans. Only one was a "sister" but, several boats were derived from those plans.

Well Jim Wynne grew his infamous beard in 1958 after he made it across the Atlantic and put in at the 79th Street boat basin NYC where I will be in about 1 hour. So whatever the hull actually is it would have to be built late 1958 or after.

The more I look at it I think it is a Haines Hunter. Wynne was probably doing some testing for them down under 1958 or later.

Really? Look at the Wynn Mill drawings and compare them to "that" boat. Other than the deck fairing.... it's a definitely Wynn Mill II built from these plans.
