Currently anchored in Cortes Bay up in the PNW.
There is a fine Albin Vega beside me and what looks like a 25 or 26 beside it from the late 70s-80s
Not familiar with several boats out here as I assume they are from west coast builders and didn't make it east.
I'll add to this as more unique boats are spotted
Bay tour...here goes.
About a 25-26 with high cabin for headroom.
A few other unknowns
Pretty sure a Catalina 25
Thinking the one is a SanJuan 25
A cute little pilot house about 25-26ft
A pair of 20s..
The last picture looks like a thunderbird to me but it's not hard chine..
I know they were produced in GRP in the end but thought they retained the same chines..
Any ideas on the above.. fire away
The pilot house, 20s and thunderbird lookalike
Saw 2 Bristol,Channel,Cutters yesterday and what I'm pretty sure is a Hughes 25
Thanks Frank, though it makes me sad that I haven't been up there in quite awhile. Planning on some kayaking around Vancouver Island next summer though.
Tim.....

C&C 25 Mark 1 (older) sweet sailing 25!
Mirage 27... started life as a 26 and then they did a reverse transom... presto 27
That IS a lotta small boatage. :)
At Quadra Island tonight....
Grampian 26
Nordica 20
Albin Vega
3 smaller classics!
Those Nordicas have always had a certain appeal to me.
Do you remember one from long ago named "BeBop", the guy did a hella job on refit and had plans to cruise maybe circumnavigate, but then something happened - severe seasickness maybe? - that caused him to quit and sell the boat. IIRC he put round portlights on her...
Honestly don't remember... but yes, something about them exudes toughness!
Such a salty looking lil boat!
Currently in Cambell River provisioning... big marina
Only one smaller sailboat. A 24 San Juan
Gorge Harbour
Cal 20
A west coast mod of a shark 24 (obviously a shark hull they started with)

I think that the boat in #4599 is a Grampian 30, and the one with wood house looks like a Cheoy Lee.
#4599... don't think Grampian 30s had the eyebrow..... could be tho...
26ft Hughes North Star 26 (S n S design)
C&C 27
Powel River...
Have saw a few of these.. no info on Sailboat data 🤷�♂️
Nice enclosed OB well

Interesting! Nice interior for a 23'er.
Cortes island
Alberg 22?
I was thinking not, but now think that my thinking was wrong, and think instead that your thinking was right.
I think, like you think, that it is an Alberg 22.
