what was it?

We don't know, but it musta been a beauty! Any ideas? Thanks to IOR Landfills.

Looks like one of Charley Morgan's custom designs Maredea:

Charley Morgan ~55' footer built in 1970 and originally called BEAR for Phil Miller. A centerboarder!

The bow and stern lines definitely look like an early 70s C&C design.

Morgan 54.

I looked at buying one in Napa once but came to my senses when I thought about the forces involved in sailing it.

Re: "forces involved in sailing it."  That may be true, but Rage has an absurdly short stick on it.

There have been a number of stories over the past years regarding folks turning old modest blue-water capable boats into deluxe daysailers - and if you can afford the per-foot exposure,  I suppose I can dig it,  still - the refurbishment has to be an act of irrational exuberance and even when it's 'done',  it ain't the cost to Get In,  It's the cost to Stay In.

Guy believes there is nothing wrong with an absurdly short stick. Ask Mrs. Frank!

Looks like the hull of a C&C 61 and the Deck of a Morgan 55

Something S&S

Boat in need of a Lloyds of London insurance binder, an old, but hot, flare and a dark dark night.  Who's to say the old flair didn't self-ignite and burn the old gal to the water line.  Total loss.  For Lloyds.  (disclaimer: do not try this at home).

This, from a Super Anarchist? I'm a total newbie, but is even a jokey promotion of insurance fraud a good idea? I'm not a member of Lloyds, but I have some good friends who are and who underwrite risk in good faith.

I am not an advocate or defender of fraud, and that's not my idea of a good joke ... but I would never lose a moment's sleep worrying about the fate of the gambles taken by Lloyds names.  (And yes, I have a few as friends; they know my views).

There vast numbers of people in any society whose fate is much rougher than those with vast stores of capital from which they usually make big profits through no effort.

Yeah, I think that it came out of the same mold as Rage...or, at least, the same hull lines drawing.  The hull looks a lot like a Morgan 42 MK II.  I was a bowman on a Tripp 44 when Rage was launched.  I remember watching it duel upwind with Pat Haggerty's latest S&S Bay Bee on their way out of Tampa Bay at the start of the SORC.  (Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away....)

Definately NOT a Morgan 42 MK II.  I crew on one and would know - check my avatar.

Wow you really are new here - this is the local flavor of humor. If this is too rough for you, I expect you won't last long

Agree with SloopJonB; Looks like a Morgan 54. Where was it "discovered", some Bayou in Louisiana? That was a pretty good design to the CCA rule. Rage, as I recall was 2nd overall in the 1968 Newport-Bermuda race.

It looks like it's done, though. Maybe over done. Happened to a boat I built, a Britt Chance daggerboard of soft woods. 2 years ago cut up and sold for the engine, winches (14 of 'em!), 11,000 pounds of lead, and a 3 spreader rig.

Like the clipper ships, they are monuments of snow....

boat hasn't moved in a long time - neither has the water it sits in !!

Sure looks like a Morgan 54 to me. My 1st post in SA was trying to locate a Morgan 54' "Silverswoard" I crewed on for day sails in the early 90's. SLB & S4B, GRS, and a few others gave me great feedback but I never did locate the boat, (last I knew it was on its way to Thailand with a different name). I don't care what anyone says about that design but, it was pretty, had a beautiful sheer line, short handsome house & Big Mo. Cracked off, or on a reach the boat was a machine. For us we needed 4 + the owner/skipper to sail her, however the guy who bought her, sailed her single handed from Hawaii to California. A few years later I ran into him, back at the Ala Wai when he decided to leave CA & head to Pattaya, Thailand..... Well built, massive, and both a beauty and a beast.
