'Scorpion' Design?

[Stephen]

Someone has asked if I would be interested in a free 'Scorpion' design sailboat. All I know of it is that it has a spinaker and is built of wood. Does anyone know more or have any pictures of this design/class?

Wow! Thanks a lot! I had no idea it was such a big class!
Thanks for the post.

Yesterday I picked the boat up. I got it for free!
There's some delamination in the foredeck to deal with , and a small hole in the hull up forward, which I feel is easily fixed. The sails are all brand new looking too! All the fixtures, fittings , and hardware are present as well.
Other than the sites previously mentioned, how can I find out when she was built and what her name might be? She is number 315 - and looking at the website above, there appears not to be too many with a low number hull around anymore!
