That bottom one is very similar to my N/M 1/2 Ton.

Only boat I recall with a transom I have seen is the Tartan 43, but they don't have flush decks?

Aphrodite 101?

She's not an Aphrodite 101, too beamy. Suspect Holland with that triangular transom. Very like a Shamrock 30.
Looks similar to transom on an Ericson 34 (IOR) as well. But flush deck says no...

Most likely an early Holland One Tonner. Turtle deck means she could not be a Shamrock 30 due to the headroom requirements of the Half Ton class, which almost always meant an actual cabin - unless the boat had a humongous amount of freeboard.
Below are a couple of early Holland One Tons circa 1974: Billycan and Offwego. May even be Offwego.
You take that back right now!

I have previously posted a photo of the Maxi Yacht Ballyhoo which won 1976 Line Honours in the Sydney Hobart Race.I had a photo of the boat emblazoned with its Australian Flag spinnaker on my bedroom wall while growing up.It made me feel very patriotic.Even though I never saw it in the flesh being on the other side of our country I researched everything I could on my favourite boat in Yachting Magazines and my local library.When it beat the ketch rigged Kialoa III and Windward Passage on their home waters it was the catalyst for all maxis a changing their ketch rigs and going to Sloop rigs.Ballyhooo‘s Owner Jack Rooklyn who was referred as a ‘colourful figure’ with unsubstantiated claims that he was connected to the underground through his Bally Poker Machine franchise in Australia.During one of the Royal Commissions into Organised Crime he was quoted as saying it was a lot of Ballyhoo.Sponsorship,was not allowed in those days but as you would expect no one challenged the name.This great Poker Machine was distributed around the gaming establishments in Australia.I read at the time that the shot flying the Blooper was taken when it won the Big Boat Series on San Francisco Bay.She still is my favourite boat ever.My indulgence now over.
