Id Old Sailboat

[Sail_On]

I picked up a project sailboat but no one knows what this boat is. Please take a look at attachement and let me know. The only plate I can find is on the mask, Zephyr Aluminum Spar, Wareham, Mass. This is also a swing keel.

Appricate any help.
Thank you.

Yup, it's an old sailboat all right...
The boxy cabin trunk gives it a homebuilt look, as does the hull/deck joint. Though there are a few that do, production boats don't usually have the gunwale going up past the deck that way - it's more expensive to build. It would help to know the dimensions (loa,lwl,beam,draft) and to have a shot of the transom as well. My first guess for a design might be a Dolphin 24 - a boat that was marketed as a kit in the '60's, I think. People could buy a hull and finish it out how they liked. It may be something else, though. Does it matter what it is? There obvioiusly aren't hundreds of them around. You can treat it as a custom one-off, get it fixed up, and go have a good time sailing.

Looks 25 -26 feet? The forward port on the front of the house is unusual.. but could have been a builder/owner addition. Kinda vanilla swing keel small cruiser.

That's a huge forehatch for smallish boat.. hope it doesn't leak!!

As Paul says, don't sweat it. If it's sound then fix her up and sail away. Anything you'll likely need will be generic or related to the accessory, not the boat itself so much...

Have you unrolled the sails? Sometimes there is an insignia or emblem on the main sail.

Not a bad looking boat, posting the size would help a bit in narrowing it down. Sits high on the trailer like Lugers do with their mostly external drop keel, but cabin doesn't look like any of them I'm familiar with.

Thanks everyone for the ideas. I'm told she a 24 footer but she has no identifing labels. Her hull does resemble the Dolphin Trina (swing keel, and D shape rudder). My interest in identifing her is to get information on restoring/reassembling her. I have no idea what's missing and where it go. Makes it hard to order a part, and you dont no the make/model of the sailboat you need the part for... how do you know if the part will fit/work I've attached a couple more pictures.. please let me know if it triggers any additional ideas

[Sail_On]

Sorry.. forgot to mention the sails that came with her have the C 24 (CAL)... but don't see that she's CAL.

Looks a bit like a: O'DAY 22 sailboat on sailboatdata.com
with modifications to the forward facing port light and more full keel.

Has some of the same lines as a late 60's 24' shark with some modifications

Interesting boat. Don't sweat the small stuff! As you read and research more you'll see that parts can be interchangeable among boats.
