I have a vague recollection of what you are talking about.
My head memory hard drive seems to recall that it was called a SPORTYAK.
I hope that this jars someone else's memory and they can verify this name or correct it.
Yep, that was the Sportyak. Not a thing of beauty, but functional. I don't think they have been made for many years, but I occasionally see them in various states of repair (disrepair) in local harbors. If you could find one that has been stored indoors (or at least covered), there may still be some life left in it. The modern equivalent seems to be the Walker Bay dinghy (available in 8' and 10' models, and with/without sailing rig). Scott M15 #478 'bebe' Pacific Seacraft Flicka
Scott, Before you resort to/invest in a Walker Bay Dinghy, you might want to be on the lookout for a Monty 8. The used ones often sell for a very reasonable price (like ours did), sail kit and all.
