ID this boat:
Looks like an "Ahlberg"?,
or a Swedish Amigo 27"? or mayne a "Fingal"? :-\
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.
Amigo 27 - No, 'cause it has a transom-hung rudder and 'folk-boatish' transom Foolish me >:(
Agree "cabin top" looks like an Amigo!
Rachel sent me an email, she thinks it is a Pearson Coaster, and I think I agree. ;). ;)

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 ;D. Can't see the bottom profile but the top is a dead ringer.

Ah, yes! Looks just about right.
Nice boat BTW, ''designer : Shaw'' who can that be? ...hardly Bernard S ::)

How about Robert Shaw (the late actor)...
"Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women!" - from
JawsOK. 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?
