Can anyone identify this boat?

[Supercat568]

Unknown sailboat, it's either 23 or 24 feet, allegedly, it's definitely fin keel and skeg hung rudder with inboard. The toe rail seems like it's a good identifying feature, plus the fact that it's a unique boat for it's size, never seen a skeg hung rudder on a boat this small.
Please let me know if you can identify this boat. Thank you

It's pretty close to this Seafarer 23 Challenger, but not it....

Thought it reminded me of a Hurley 24 but the keel and skeg don't match..

So many are close but not exact match, thank you! Owner says it's a dutch built boat so I went on sailboat data, clicked on builders and searched every builder from the Netherlands. No luck. This is one of those stupid things that doesn't matter but I'm too dumb to just forget it. Adult onset ADD, gotta love it.

Grampian 23'?


edit: I don't think it is a Grampian. While the portlight, deck and keel looks similar to one I had, it did not have a skeg held rudder nor an inboard motor

Whoever made it, it's a real pocket cruiser, i/b, skeg hung rudder, and all! Hope someone picks it out of their memory banks for you....

Yes, I recognize it as Dutch built…. but this is a boat from the 70’s I think and I have a hard time coming up with a name…

Is there an aft deck with lazarette or does the cockpit extend all the way aft?

van de Stadt has designed countless boats like this.

Edit: need more pictures, especially aft facing deck/cockpit.

Maybe a Spirit 24?

Nope not a Spirit 24.

Contest 25 comes up as one of the possibilites when doing a Google image search.

I have a picture of the hull number. And I learned so about US Coast Guard hull ID numbers. It comes up as Maryland Homemade, but when I search further I get nothing, although Dutch Treat is the name of probably 20 other boats I've found. I've attached the picture of the hull. What the hull???
