Looks like a Yachting World Peoples Boat. Robert Clark, definitely.
I have one in a barn on the farm.

Definitely not a debutante. I would agree with Sarabande.
Do watch out for ply delamination in lockkers, under cockpit etc. It can all be replaced - but a lot of work or expense.

Exactly the areas that caused us trouble. Also, the centreboard pin - well worth replacing anyway. Comfortable little boat: over 900 sets of plans sold, but only about 30 built.
Mine has exactly the same colours !
Have fun.

The owner assures me this is a Debutante. Which makes it quite different from yours. (It's aground in the pic)

Its a Robert Tucker 'Escapade' - the 'grown up' version of the Debutante, with around 65 sq ft more sail area, and an LOA of 25'9" on a 22 ft waterline. Very nice boat, but make sure the ply is still sound or you will be in for a lot of hard work!
And Lake Sailor - North Star in your pic is defintely Not a Tucker Debutante - not remotely like it except the flush deck! Maybe another designer who has also used the 'Debutante' class name?
Theres a thumbnail of a Debutante on: http://www.yachtsnet.co.uk/smallyachts.htm
and an Escapade on

I think it might be a Capriccio design: from memory about 23/24 ft long, Robert Tucker design, as a bigger, faster Caprice.
