Amigo 27 - No, 'cause it has a transom-hung rudder and 'folk-boatish' transom.

FinGal - No ,just doesn't look right.... the cabin top really looks like an Amigo, but not the rest...

so, my guess is to second the 'Alberg' call.

Capnsmollett - do you have any dimensions on it? like a rough size guesstimate?

Otherwise, it beats me.

Rachel sent me an email, she thinks it is a Pearson Coaster, and I think I agree. Wink. Wink

 No.  I don't have any info on it.  Saw it on trailer in motel parking lot and was intrigued. Gone now.

I would have to agree with Rachel that it's a Pearson Grin. Can't see the bottom profile but the top is a dead ringer.

How about Robert Shaw (the late actor)...
"Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women!" - from Jaws
OK. I apologize for straying off onto that.

Interestingly enough, it seems to me that Alberg, Coble (the Bristol Corsair designer), and Shaw all had something very similar in mind as a design. Or else they "copied" off someone - probably Alberg. Is this the result of the sailing class rules of the time plus looking for a similar style?
