WTAF?

Miller and Whitworth 35. 3/4 Tonner. Red Amber. “With a few mods”.

1st generation foiler.
Sometimes I wonder how our species ever made it to Moon.

Luckily we were on the moon before that abortion was built.

The outboard motor prop is a nice touch, was that for a rating credit?😄

Postscript to the Howzat Whiting 1/2 ton story from last week. The owner Allan Wallbridge passed away on 5 March aged 78. Condolences to the family, especially Heath and Merrin.

Nah, but at the high Reynolds numbers inherent in foiling that type of prop is more efficient...

I had a Swan 40 for a season. I'd call it a late RORC rule design rather than an IOR. I found it desperately old fashioned despite the gorgeous looks. All the gear was so heavy it needed a gorilla, the 'aft cabin' was more like a tomb. Luckily some other mug had rose coloured binoculars.

Interesting boat but this isn't a C&C sheerline. Absolutely nothing about that boats resonates as coming from C&C...

Can a toe-rail with varying height give the impression of a sheer line like that?

JohnKelly Cuthbertson at the FB group: "she could be a rebuilt Inshallah which was a sister to Bonaventure. Inshallah was project 70-7 with a waterline of 43’ built for Wolfgang Andreae. I don’t have drawings for her but for comparison here is Bonaventure."

I think that is the only C&C boat I've seen that was not immediately identifiable as such. Their "look" was like Benz in that through all the changes in design and designers over the years they maintained an indefinable "something" that identified them.

big ugly bow?

Agreed. It doesn't look like a C&C, at least not one from the Ball/Killing era.

Sailboatdata doesn't list a 54, and the 57 and 51 are very different (yet still have the C&C sheer)

Wonder if it could be a one-off, built by the C&C yard but not from the normal design pipe...?

For sure. Even the Mega has a nice sheer! In a C&C traditionalist's eye, they did stray a bit in a few smaller 1976-77 designs: the 26, 29-1, and 34-1 sheerlines are pretty flat (lotsa interior volume!), so the back ends look kicked up a bit like somebody added a leaf spring shackle kit!

Cheers!
