Challenger as cover girl?

Anyone notice the boat on the front of the jewelry booklet ( Corea?) packaged with the last Sail magazine? My son thinks it is a Challenger. I agree. Or is there another, similar, Alden?

Alden 38' Challenger yawl Rockport Harbor
The owner of AGA Correa also owns the beautiful yawl NOETA,

a lovely sailboat designed by K. Aage Neilson. I haven't seen the newest catalog but they usually have NOETA(short for No estimated time of arrival) on the cover or inside. Often with her bright red spinnaker and center of effort symbol in gold pulling nicely. A real beauty.

We saw this boat doing quite well racing in the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta this past season off Woodenboats magazines headquarters.

Amazingly this little wooden yawl is only 30' long, it looks much bigger. She does look quite a bit like a Challenger as I recall. I look forward to seeing the catalogue. I hope the photo is a Challenger instead.
