Does anyone know what kind of boat this is? This guy passed me like I was standing still this weekend.

Hard to tell but it kinda looks like a Newport 33. The guy I crew with in the berth next to my C25 has one and we win races under conditions you'd think would be impossible for such a heavy boat! When we all sail together he just about has to stall himself out for all of us in C25's, Hunter 26 WB, Hunter 27 (old 80's model) to catch up. I don't know what it is about his hull but...sheesh! I'd miss my Catalina Brethren if I move into his when he's done with her. Tempting! Got any closer or different angles?

I didn't take any other pictures while he was alongside. I was too busy trying to figure out my sail trim.

He passed within 50 ft of me, and we exchanged greetings. His jib was trimmed out so far it should've been luffing, but it wasn't. I had a deep curl in it. We were on a beam reach when he passed. I was able to close slightly when we both had to change course up into the wind, but once we came back, he took off.

Well by the look of the cabin top it could be a number of boats. Yep realy hard to tell from a distance and not being able to see the main sail. It could be a Cape Dory or an Alberg. Although most of the CDs I have seen were cutter rigged with a club footed jib. Albergs are mostly sloops. Who knows and I guess unless you see her again no one will know.

Ben,

I never got it. I have changed a few times in the past months, but my profile here is updated. It's the ATT.net address.
