In short.......No!
But, as the description says 'Like a Ring'?
Theres some viseo footage of a P23 (yellow) turning over in holland / belgium. In that race theres atleast 1 boat that seems to have the distinctive Ring bottom but certainly NOT a Ring boat.
That ebay boat looks very similar.

No for me too, but it looks a little bit like an apache. I am not real familiar with their small OB boats so I cannot say for sure, but the lines are similar.

I'm sorry, I made a mistake, the black boat at the Dutch races isn't a warrior, it's a Shakespeare (wich is for sale as well). Somebody told me the Shakespeare and Warrior have the same hull. (that's why I mixed up)

Looks from that pic. simular to a boat I remember kicking around boat yards in the Poole area in the early 90s always looked tatty. Never paid to much attention to it, although a guy I knew at the time, and did work on my engine by the name of John Ide i belive ended up with it. I think he said it was splashed from a few boats in a garden as they always are, it was not very quick and had a bad chine walk problem, like the professional boat builders on this site say buy a cheap splash you get crap

John Ide worked for Chris Lewis for a while, then Looked after Colin Stoneman's boats, then John Millers race stuff. I think he wound up staying in the middle east after that.
