It's a boat that's not covered in the book. That particular boat is Chuck Merrell's "Tomboy", built to the 'Jesse Cooper' design.

Now here is the conundrum...what is the boat in the top left illustration on the cover? I have scoured the book but can't seem to find it. Am I missing something?
The note inside the cover lists 'Bright Thread', 'Microtrawler' and 'Pirate Racer' but I can't see 'Pirate Racer' on the cover of my copy. It looks like 'Fisherman's Launch' in the second photo and 'Birdwatcher' at the bottom.
Over to you experts!
It's all clear to me now! I might add that my copy of the book has had the 'dog treatment' when the postman left it in the porch and the pooch next door savaged it..! I have just taped the edge of the cover expertly together and the 'missing' Pirate Racer has re-appeared, albeit with a hole in the stem...still hasn't sunk though!
You might all like to know that the gale has abated and now it is bucketing down with rain and the shop is leaking...ho hum. I know what's on the agenda tomorrow.

What John said. The Jessie Cooper design is featured in another book, "30 odd boats", iirc.
The 'missing' Pirate Racer is an easily overlooked thumbnail image in the book title text block.
