What boat is this?

[jimshipsky]

I recently saw a beautiful sailboat at a boatyard in Rockport, ME. About 35'. Most everything above the deck was lovely wood. I was thinking Hinckley, based on her quality. Hinckley's logo according to Google is Talaria, the winged sandals worn by Hermes, the Greek messenger god. But on her hull at the bow was an incised 5-pointed red star. I would love to know what kind of boat this is. Thanks.

A picture of the boat would help Jim.

My head, my aching throbbing head.

You sure the star has five points and was not a rose?

Concordia's have a five-pointed star at the bow and a crescent moon at the stern. They are wood below the deck as well. Cove stripe is usually blue however, not red. CONCORDIA 40 - sailboatdata

I've got way more pictures of interesting boats I've run across than I have pictures of people. Some say that is a problem.

Is this boat, home-ported in Rockport, the one you saw? The owner posts about painting her himself, which may account for the red color. It's an Alden Challenger.https://goodoldboat.com/when-christmas-came-to-christmas/ She's 38' long.

Alden design #949. The Fiberglass hulls were molded by Halmatic Ltd. in the UK and finished with wood decks, usually covered with teak, mahogany cabin trunk and trim, by a number of other yards.

The boat in the GOB article belongs to @TomY who is a member of SBO. Perhaps he'll weigh in on this.

It might be kinda creepy if you had pictures of interesting people lol

However, way back in the dark ages, there were photographers who took portrait pictures of people more often than boats..
