Who knows this yawl dinghy?

A friend found this boat on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.de/Tolle-britische-Zweimastjolle-im-klassischem-Design_W0QQitemZ110312357399QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSeg elboote?hash=item110312357399&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1231%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C 240%3A1318#ebayphotohosting

Looks interesting and in good condition. Says it's hull No. 16, but what is it?
Auction ends tonight, so timely advice is appreciated.

It looks like a lovely boat. Today, in the US, it'd cost at least $15,000 to have it built. The current bid of about 1,000 Euros is a steal.

The design is similar to Garden's Eel, but a bit smaller. It'd be worth buying the plans just for the rudder and centerboard details.
