Such a graceful design, and quite a workable or functional layout. I have had a flush deck sailing boats and they are just an ideal vessel underfoot. Looks like that one had a Pilot house of a sort worked into it and that is just great. Nice boat photo, thanks you. Is that a Stonehorse?

No, it is a powerboat with a steadying sail. Look how slender the mast is, notice the lack of shrouds or winches and running rigging, also there is no boom. This was never meant to carry sail.

Is still a good design to me as I have sailed and enjoyed a 'flush deck' vessel. It was no racer but was solid enjoyment underway and that is what matters. My Cal 20 did not have shrouded winches either, still a good boat.
