It looks like a Nordica 20 to me. There is another similar boat called a Halman 20, but it has different ports and a slightly different keel shape.

Here is a link to more info:

Yes, a Nordica 20. I haven't seen one of those in a long time, my dad came very close to buying one in the late 70's and I remember thinking it was just about the coolest little boat around (I was 10 or so at the time). It was like a pint sized yacht that looked like it would go anywhere.

Very distinctive boat. There's one in our mooring field, and I'm always impressed with how capable it looks.

I was down the St. Lawrence a couple of seasons ago, and saw three more of them as I got out toward the bigger water. Might be a cult or something?

Must be slow as snails, but what a great lifeboat one of these would make!
