Hi Peter - welcome!
You have some work to do there!! Great project. Will be excellent fun with the kid(s) when ready to sail.
I have no idea what the vessel is. Perhaps you should ask on the W.O.A. forum as you think it's a Westerly? Their forum used to be members only but it's not any more. It's here:

If you find out what she is, please do let us know.
Good luck!

It's not as easy as you might think, to attach a photo. You need to have it hosted somewhere else to start with.
Fortunately, you can now do this very easily using a free service like this one:
http://postimage.org/
Just upload your image and then underneath are various versions of code you can use to insert an image. If you click on COPY TO CLIPBOARD next the one that says "Thumbnail for forums(1)"
And then make a post in here and when you want to insert your image hit CTRL-V (or right-click and choose PASTE) and that will insert the code you need to show your image.
Bit of practice and you'll suss it. Have a go now maybe.

Fab, but small. And it turns out that free service pays for itself by linking to their pages, and showing ads... fair enough perhaps.
There may be other services out there which are better.
