This is the boats name not model. It's a force 50 , ketch,LOA 58-10, LOD 50-10, beam 14-1, draft 6, 52,000#, SA 1250, 120 hp diesel, 8 berths. this is a garden design originally from the 40's and redone in the 70's to incorporate fiberglass.Pilothouse too.Another Garden design from this period is a Formosa 51.Pilothouse ketch,LOA 51, LOD 39-6, draft 6-4,SA 959, Disp 56000#, ballast 12,000#, SA- Disp 10.53. Obviously not light air sailers. They have that China clipper bow look. Your boat probably has similar specs. The Formosa beam is 14 feet.
