Kiwifish 30 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Sorry it’s a bad photo, but does anyone know what this boat is? Was at the Barrier last week, clearly a blue water yacht, stern said it was from R.C.R Alicante. Low free board and very wide, had a strong looking mast. Looked very capable. Any ideas??

Kevin McCready 83 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Wild guesses: Sparkman and Stephens 34. Contessa 32 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I don't think that is Contessa 32, it is longer than 32 ft (couldn't get that much gear on the transom of a Contessa), although I do agree the lines are not too dissimilar. I think the Contessa has more rake in the stem as well (little hard to tell from the photo). Certainly the Contessa is a renowned sailing boat and would have the characteristics Kiwifish describes.

Kiwifish 30 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 I have another photo coming hopefully a better one. almost flush deck, very large steering wheel. The cockpit was split by a raised section forming two cockpit wells, the raised section held the traveller and the steering wheel. Home port was Alicante if that helps. Had a very solid looking mast and was well setup for blue water. I like the look of the boat. It was moored up and no one was around unfortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shagger 0 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Aldo looks sleeker than a Swede 38, plus Aldo is masthead rigged instead of fractional. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcp 36 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Sweden Yachts 38 ? They are beamy, https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/sweden-yachts-38 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 412 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Windows look wrong for Sweden 38 The pictured yacht has square windows unless it’s just the angle of the photos ? Otherwise looks right Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 450 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Yup Aldo is masthead with single coaming port so not Swede. Oyster 37 has different cabin trunk forward end and more freeboard. Should have left a note aboard requiring the owner to identify their yacht design on Crew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 412 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 It could turn into a mid summer mystery Someone will see them around the coast and find out I’m sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Looking at it again - especially the ratio between freeboard and length - I'm thinking it might be US rather than European origin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kiwifish 30 Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 It could turn into a mid summer mystery Someone will see them around the coast and find out I’m sure It’s been left on the mooring for a long time. I’m not sure anyone will see it out and about. It’s moored as per the picture if anyone’s over that way... Mid summer mystery alright! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
