Identify This Boat?

[Rick Webb]

This boat is being to our youth sailing group as a donation

I am told the title says it is a 1978 24' S2 but does not seem to match the pictures I can find

I have not been out on the boat to check the HIN

Got the lines of a Santana 20. Before 1996, closed transom. Not that, Santana 20 no side windows.

Might be a Santana 21: SailboatData.com - SANTANA 21 Sailboat
But, I'm not seeing that front hatch on the S21 and the rake of that foredeck is wrong for a S21.

Hull lines scream Santana (lines of the 1/4 tonners).

Rangers had similar lines too.

Stumps me.

It looks like a US 22.

We are all guessing. The definitive answer will come when you look at the HIN.

That would be a Landfill 28 or 30.

I think it looks like a Buccaneer.

I think it looks like a Buccaneer.

Post # 5 identifies it as a US 22. The Buccaneer 22 has two portholes in the cabin trunk and no hatch forward of the mast.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

It's a US Yacht 22.
