Boat Identification

[JWalker]

Can anyone identify this boat?

It was on west dock in St Pete.

Nice looking boat, small bullwark, stanction bases are raised to reduce leaking, molded dodger base, mast tabernacle, positive locking on the forward hatch....

Looks similar to a folkboat or contessa 26

Bow,

the forstay attachment is kinda neat, it splits just below the roller furler into two pieces, and each are bolted on either side of the bow, and the anchor shaft can pass between them directly on center.

Could it be a great dane 28?  I'm just guessing by looking at the rudder.  (I have limited internet here at work, so I cant research it very well)

It is the 28' 1978 Great Dane listed up for sale last May. It was listed as being at Madeira Beach for about $15k. Looks like it sold & has a new owner. Was a family-cruiser for most of its life. New owners have changed out mainsail cover & polished the topsides, otherwise it looks the same.

Sweet!

It was a fairly impressive boat from the dock, lots of little details!

I've poked around the great dane site a bit, http://gd28.wikidot.com/

I kinda think its not a great dane 28.

the cabin top is a bit more rounded on the mystry boat, and I couldnt find a pic of a GD28 with the mini bullwork...just toerails.

here is a pic of a GD28

It look like a Danish Bandholm 24
