Welcome aboard Shoni. Good luck on getting your boat all fixed and ready to sail. Take your time with it. I've been working on mine for four years now and am just getting to the cosmetic items.

Hi Shoni.... it looks very much like this 24ftr by Tankard.... I know they also did a 19ftr but don't know for sure what the next size up from 24ft was....
Used to see a few back in the 70's, 80's.... very few around today...

Aloha and welcome aboard!
That looks suspiciously like a Haida 26. Google the Haida for more information. If yours is a Haida you've made a good purchase if it is seaworthy.
kind regards,

The title is finally here! She is an ALLMAND 27.

This is why I thought it was a Haida. HAIDA 26 Sailboat details on sailboatdata.com We have some Haida owners on this forum so you might just post "Haida 26" in the monohull forum and see if anyone has photos of their boat. I've heard of Allmand powerboats but not sailboats and maybe you have an unusual sailing vessel.
kindest regards,

Thanks JohnL, Yes, I think she is unusual. Also, she is a classic, built in 1967. I will very much enjoy restoring her to her original beauty.

In 1967 fiberglass was still kind of new for hull builders and they were not certain of the strength. Usually those were overbuilt and in my opinion that would be a plus.
Please send more photos when you are able.
kind regards,
