Seen in recent edition of Captain Q on YouTube:
Probably American or Scandinavian.
Just curious, thanks.

The title of the image says Formosa 41 for sale at $68.500 or am I missing something?

Unfortunately, If you look up a Formosa 41 on yachtworld it doesn’t look like that…

And why the huge windlass on the side deck?

Wonder how often the genoa sheet gets hooked up on the windlass on the side deck?

There was a trend for more racy boats to put the cable locker amidships (UFO34 springs to mind), to keep the weight of the cable out of the ends. Never seen the anchor windlass actually get located there, though.

Alpa 11.5 looks close - but seems to have wheel steering and no lazarette locker.
"The title of the image says Formosa 41 for sale at $68.500 or am I missing something?"
The Formosa stuff is the title of the video, the boat above was just glimpsed for a few seconds.
"And why the huge windlass on the side deck?"
As the boat is not rigged I guess that it could have just been shifted there for maintenance.

I had one next to me for the best part 8 years, it certainly had a wheel, it was a summer home for a French family we knew, It was totally knackered, I believe they are quite fast.

At first glance I thought Contessa 38/Dawn 39, but it's not that. A lot of American-looking detailing in the coachroof and cockpit, also in the counter/transom shape. Pretty hull....

Hinckley sou'wester of some era I think.

You are right - Hinckley Sou-wester 51 or 52. I was correct though in her being American.

I saved the photo to my computer, and zoomed in a bit - the boat in the screen shot in Doug's original post appears to have a wooden hull?
Unless it is a very rough fibreglass hull.

Yes, looks wooden and doesn't have the McCurdy & Rhodes characteristic pair of aft saloon windows or the covestrip of a Hinkley.
I too think the windlass is simply sitting there after the deck was painted before being bolted down in the right place.

Agreed. All Hinckley’s have the signature saloon windows and it doesn’t have them.
To my eye it looks to be 35-38’, but I haven’t a clue what she is.
The cove moulding has an unusual end feature.
I half recognise it but can’t quite place it.

plenty of older sou'westers don't have the signature windows but I agree about the cove line.

The transom is a wine glass, not like any Hinckley I'm aware of; it's a design feature Herreshoff used so I suppose this makes it a Herreshoff pastiche.

agree. the more I look at it the less I think it's a Hinckley
