The hull is a dead ringer for a Bristol 24, designed by Paul Coble, as are the cabin and cockpit. The cove stripe also looks similar to a Bristol, although it’s difficult to tell for sure from the photos.
But the portlights don’t match, and the Bristol 24 was not a fractional rig, as far as I know. Jack Brennan Former C&C 25 Shanachie, 1974 Bristol 30 Tierra Verde, Fl.

Alberg didn't design the 25, but they sold alot of them. I owned a 22 that was one of Alberg's last designs. Strong boat, though needed wind to come alive. Really sliced through waves. Vee hull, no flat spots. The boat in the ad is an older Cape Dory 25, hence the "Scape Dory" title? Just sayin. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "CNC boat owners, cnc-list" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> To: "CNC boat owners, cnc-list" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Sent: Monday, June 2, 2014 12:13:22 AM Subject: Re: Stus-List Can anyone identify the class of this boat? Alberg was my first thought, although the listed designer for the Cape Dory 25 is George Stadel. Definitely follows the Carl Alberg lines, and Alberg designed the first Cape Dory yacht. (I'm not an expert, I just know how to use Google. <G>) Those Alberg boats were so beautiful that little mom and pop shops in Taiwan were making molds from existing hulls. (BTW, that was also done with the C&C 40, if memory serves. I saw one once, and was amazed that they didn't even fill in the stars. The owner insisted that it was just like a Swan, only better...) And don't get me started on the concept of things needing no other reason to exist other than they're pretty. Heck, I saw a young couple on a bus today, and the boy was totally ensmattered. Heck, even I was entranced. But when she stood up and got off the bus, I knew she'd be fat in five years. Wal Andrew wrote: > I think she has an Alberg look to her, too.
