Re: Could it be????
Not sure if you are asking what it is, but: Late 50s/early 60s Seafarer Swiftsure (Rhodes/Jannace). Non-Commodore version, so I would expect it to have been built at G. DeVries Lentsch near Amsterdam. Pretty :)

Re: Could it be????
Which is funny b/c I had gone to look at a Swiftsure earlier in the day (see post up in Q/A) and someone commented that it probably was a Commodore version.
I like this boat. Saw the potential in the one I looked at, BUT... I don't have a shop big enough to put it in. Would be a full time job, like what Tim did.

Re: Could it be????
I've just bought a Swiftsure33. AURORA is in a thousand pieces and in 4 barns, requiring lots of restoration and repair. Some intervention as well. Same colour as the boat pictured, but with tons of good stuff included. I hope to have restored enough integrity into this boat that I can sail her this coming summer, but it will be a few years 'till she's finished. Sailor Simon

Even if you don't count maintenance, you will find that you will never stop modifying/upgrading/rearranging stuff about your boat. And those of us who do it ourselves have this disease worse than anyone. The first step towards recovery is to admit it. It is also the last step most of us ever take.

Re: Could it be????
The same make and model used to be berthed two boats down from mine. It is now covered in vines and snakes up a little creek off the Wakulla River; owner disabled or dead and marina unable or unwilling to seek another option. Another boat worthy of attention, but through ignorance and apathy is left to die a slow death.
