Title: Sweet Little Mystery Ketch
Post by: CalamityJack on May 21, 2016, 10:37:56 AM
Does anybody know what this little ketch is? Very low freeboard. I'm sure it's 30ft or less. It's so good looking, I would live in it even if I had crawl around inside on my hands and knees!

The boat looks to me similar to some of the Chuck Paine designed/Morris Yacht built boats that I've seen...

Might possibly be a ketch version of his Annie 30?

He has used those style of port lights on his flush-deck version of the Frances 26...as shown on the profile drawing here...

It has the same lines/looks like my friend's boat which is a 1936 Kunter celebrating her 80th birthday this year. Tried to post a picture of her but the file is too big.
