What is this Boat?

We were in Port Pendennis marina earlier this summer, and the boat in the photo caught my eye, as a particularly nice design, but I have no idea of make or model. I'm sure someone on here knows...

Cox master mariner, that is all I know and must agree that it looks a purposeful little thing and currently trying to persuade my aged father to buy when. Then when I am older it will be useful as part of the inheritance!

Lovely boats. We followed one up the narrow windy channel to Granary, The Kipper was under engine but the MM short tacked like a dinghy up the channel, I couldn't believe how nimble it was. From the way it moved it looked deceptively light displacement and there was a good amount of canvas up.

Some similarities with a Ryton 37/38 which was a designed by Robert Tucker.

Thanks everyone. There was just something about it which appealed, and while I'm not currently in the market for a new boat, having just got our Jeanneau 379, I have ideas of getting something smaller to potter in once we have had enough of long trips. The Master Mariner looks to tick all the boxes.
