Boat Identification

Salutations sailors!

I am soliciting your assistance in identifying this sailboat. I've never seen anything quite like it, but am intrigued. It has a TINY cockpit, but a huge cabin. Its rigging seems archaic, and the styling almost anachronistic...but the interior is that of a studio apartment.

Any ideas?

Re: Boat Identification

It looks very much identical to John Letcher's Aleutka

Re: Boat Identification

The dockmaster suggested that it is a Pearson Triton with some major fiberglass liberties, but I'm really stumped.

Re: Boat Identification

I had a tape measure in my pocket, but only took photos. It looks every bit of 28'.

Re: Boat Identification

Surely NOT a Triton... your dockmaster must have a source for good weed!

Re: Boat Identification

A modified Westsail 28? Round portholes suggest that look to me.

Re: Boat Identification

He made no mention of weed, but I'll be certain to inquire, as a friend of a friend may know a guy who wants to know if that is truly the case. I'm still trying to figure out what this thing is, though.

...oh, and deadeye rigging. Who does that anymore?
