What kind of boat is this?

[tmoandj]

Hypothetically speaking, if you were looking for a 40'ish, aluminum, junk rigged boat, for long distance cruising, what boat would you be searching for? Anyone seen anything that matches these criteria?

aluminum is some of the wordt materail you could evere buiuld a boat from. better off with a none such or wylie cat

I've spent quite a bit of time looking at the gazelles but it appears that the aft cabin is completely isolated from the rest of the boat? Also, I've heard that they can feel a little cramped due to their narrow beam? I haven't had an opportunity to see one (the nearest is a $1000 flight away!)
I looked at Zaals on your recomendation, and will continue looking at them but was unable to find any Wylos, only Wylie. Do I have the correct spelling "Wylo"?
Thanks everyone

I do not mean that specific Wylo. We all know what Wylo is, right?

I mean a boat like Wylo.

Wylo 35.5 background

Easy to built in alloys as it is IMHO drawn for steel.

BTW If you want a simple built alloy yacht to travel the world, and if you want junk rig, talk to Kurt if he can draw a junk rig for his hydra, or similar, design:

I have surveyed both the Gazelle and the Wylo designs. The Gazelle aft cabin can be accessed via the cockpit or in some cases via a walkway on the port side. The narrow beam did not seem that noticeable......remember this is not a 40 foot bendy toe. The Wylo I surveyed had a swing keel with the case in the middle of the cabin. That was a little more cramped. Both are sweet designs with plenty of circumnavigations under their belts.

To me it sound like a Colvin boat.. but there are plenty of manufacturers like that.. I bet that if you type those keywords on google you'll get something
