I don't know the make, its probably Turkish built and appears to be fibreglass with a lot of teak woodwork. Schooner rig with a genoa, two boomed staysails and a big mainsail. Beautiful lines. I have no idea what it sails like as I have only seen it moored near the inner end of Keci Bucu. I will try to get a picture in better light tomorrow. Does anyone know the builder/designer?

It looks a bit like a Robert Perry Scorpio 72 - but they were (manly) ketches.
 
It looks about 50-60 feet LOA, but could be longer
Here is this morning's picture with the sun in a better place.

EDIT: It certainly looks like a Perry design but the 72 has many portholes in the hull. This looks smaller but has several very similar design features. Unfortunately there is nobody aboard so I cannot ask.
