Anyone recognise what model Colvic this is?

[SeanMacprawn]

The seller doesn't know what model Colvic they are selling. It's 28 foot bilge keeler, but it doesn't look like a Countess to me. Anyone got any clues?

I could be wrong, but I have my doubts about it being a Colvic.

I though it was Sea rover but its not!

That second picture certainly makes identification a lot easier.

These are adverisements for Colvic Countess 28 and they look like the ebay boat.

It's definitely not a Colvic Countess 28 - hull foredeck upturn on the moulding and general hull form significantly different. It MIGHT be a Colvic 26 Sailer, but the photos is so awful it's difficult to be sure. Remember that with Colvics you cannot rely on window shape/type/placement as so many were fitted out from bare mouldings with no window cutouts.

Dockrell 27 ?

Actually I think the seller is correct. If it's the boat I think it is, it's a Colvic, it's 28 feet long and a bilge keeler, but definitely not a Countess. I'm not sure I ever knew the model designation.

but its only a 25 ft hull plus a bowsprit.

Some new pictures have been uploaded but they could be of anything.

There was the ' Colvic Sailor 26 ', a barely disguised attempt to replicate the format of the Centaur, but they couldn't pull it off, I think the relative sales numbers say it all.

Think there was a 28' later, but the boat in the photo doesn't look like it to me.

Didn't the Countess start off at 33' as a Westerly 33 / Discus lookalike ( given a brief glance ! ) ?

Colvic Springtide ?

25ft Colvic Family Fisher.

I have been a a few colvics, but none looked like this....... Much more solid and higher hulls. Can't be 28 feet........
I see a much better buy and something I would rather trust, the Hurley 22 going for pennies next to it on ebay. Been in an 8 with one of those, great wee boats.

Not everybody sees going out in a F8 as particularly important, and if looking at a boat like the one in question is probably more interested in space for their family.

But if you are caught out in one ( as i was off skye in the days when all you had was a patchy and intermittent vhf forecast) and heading in for cover.... it is nice to know that the boat will handle well and deal with it. It is not anything you would want to go looking for......
