What is she?

[Clyde_Wanderer]

Emailed to a me by a friend who spotted her leying at a farm and has a slight interest in a restoration project.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Any clue on size? Looks quite small. 22 feet?

He reckons aprox 24ish.
Thanks, C_W

Possibly an Atlanta 28, but more likely a Macwester 26. Either way, definitely a C J Roy design. I believe there is an active Macwester Association so they might be able to shed light.

Atlanta 28: the coachroof has a much lower profile than the Macwester 26, leading to more elongated windows.

hi what a wast, its sad to see boats left like this could get her looking real good though if you spent the time Dave

Here's an Atlanta 28
Here's a Macwester 26 (bilge keel)

Thanks everyone for the conclusions that she is an Atlanta 28.
I wonder what sort of value she would have at this state of disrepair, as aparantly she has been lying there for close on 20yrs.
What a waste of what could be a lovely boat.
Cheers, C_W

Assume the engine is a basket case, the sails are all there and reasonable, and she is not full to the brim with water, maybe £500 - £1000.
