Can anyone name this boat

Just curious.

Thanks

 

no but that is a very fine deck layout, flush, with hard dodger
why do you like her?

 

I like her for the same reason but also looks like a little cork - would pop out of any weather at sea. Set up for single-handling. Seems like a boat you'd feel safe in in all conditions. Looks like steel but maybe not. I think this photo is taken off Alaska.

 

This looks to me like a cartwright design. I can't remember the fellow's first name. Was it Ben or Gerry? Anyhow, he liked to design full keel boats with raised decks and dog houses way aft (like this one). His major audience was the cruising community from the mid to late seventies IFIRC. I used to read his ideas a lot, first in 't
The Rudder' then 'Cruising under sail' magazines.

I hope this helps

smells like an ADAMS design, but I am only guessing....

 

neither, and she is not steel the givaway is the stem, too thick for bar and plate, two thin for nose job,looks like a one of glass, not really fair, but love that deck and house, um already said that

so a steel cartwirght ?

 

looks like I could be wrong, blew it up, they look like galv steel rails,, very blurred sorry(

 

Still not sure what it is. looking for cartwright plans.

 

Judging by the canoe stern, shape of the doghouse, flush deck and stepped sheerline my guess is a Ron Swanson design (Australian), maybe a larger version of Carmen.

 

I found it for anyone still curious http://www.gaffrig.co.nz/about.htm

 

I think that boat got featured in an Article in the Aussie magazine :Cruising Helmsman"
