ChatGPT thinks it is a Potter 19. I'm not so sure.

Then we've still got some time before we're replaced by the machines I guess ;-)

I don't know what it is but I like it.

Looks like a Dutch design. Resembles some of the boats brought over after OpSail in the '80s.

Interesting design. Small cockpit footwell. Flush deck. Unsure about the companionway hatch, since it doesn't appear to have room to slide forward. Gaff-rigged centerboard/swing keel sloop with sharp entry and wide beam and fantail aft. I'd like to know the design, too.

Well, obviously, it's a Squatty Four, designed by Hairyshoff.

Looks like a fun toy. I bet it's a blast going downwind -

Possibly an end plate on the rudder… someone is a Bolger fan! Cool boat!

Looked again… I don’t think it’s an end plate. Just an under hull barn door. Oh well.

I would say this looks like a modified cat boat of some kind. The hatch seems blocked by the current mast placement, suggesting it has been moved. The center board does seem a bit further back than usual, but I wonder if it might have 2?
