Hey there-

It is either an Atkins or a Thomas Gilmer Design.

I invite you to look at the pictures of my Aries 32 to see if they're similar at flickr dot com slash photos slash chuckbullett/ I think that you see a lot of similarity.

I have a copy of Wooden Boat magazine that has a picture of a wooden Atkins that looks very similar. PS Atkins is a designer not a builder.

I know its the atkins Erin and Eric..both wooden models of similar shape to the one I posted...however samson designed a ferocement double ender exactly as the one I posted...the enterior is the same with toilet up front.

Looks like it could be a samson boat ,cecil norris design. I sail a samson C-Farrer II gaff cutter 39' on deck. They also made a smaller version I believe 32' on deck. Check out www.ferroboats.com and look at GOJA, .............Fair winds
