What is it?

[SalmonJack]

This pic was taken in Elsehul Bay at the north western end of South Georgia, 800 miles east of the Falkland Islands, way down there. I've done my due diligence searching. It looks like an old production type from the 60s or 70s. Again, asking for my neighbor.

Whatever it is, it isn’t big enough.

Looks a bit like a Nicholson 35 maybe?

Could be a Nic 32, that one had a little step in the aft part of the house.

Looks English. First thought was a Nicholson, but the windows are wrong.

Perhaps an Elizabethan 35: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/elizabethan-35
Or similar Holman & Pye of that era. They were quite prolific.

Agreed. About 100' to short.

I thought it might be this, but the transom is wrong.

Looks like a Nicholson (Camper and Nicholson) cove stripe. They had a yard and design office in Emsworth Hants, for a long time (well pre-dating me) when I did my first apprenticeship at another builders yard also in Emsworth.

I don't know. That has a higher freeboard and double windows.

Gold Proctor roller boom is the giveaway..

Perhaps a Nicholson 31?

Nicholson 32. The 31 has a transom hung rudder.
Plenty of pics of light blue sisterships on the web.
Probably none from

that far south...

Thanks, everyone. I'll pass it along.

I think he was giving an example of the company cove stripe.
