Saw this odd duck...

I now own two! These were built by International Yacht Corp (Helsen) in Clearwater. The parts boat is a '76 swing keel. The project boat is a '77 shoal keel. They both have the original Kermath/Atomic 2 gas inboard. Planning on installing a Yanmar 2GM-13. I've already spoke to Jopie Helsen but if anyone has any info on these, please contact me.

Wish I could. I expect the soonest I'll have the '77 ready for the water will be summer 2022. I plan on selling the '76 once I get it back on a trailer.
Have you considered the torqeedo electric sail drive? You have a lot of cabin top you could cover with solar. Turn your oddity into a commodity
I just picked up one the end of June and hope to have it on the lake by next weekend. I will let you know how it sails, I'm coming from a West Wight Potter 19.
So will you name it Allmand Joy? I think that is the one with nuts in it.
I rememebr seeing something very similar at the Strictly Sail boat show 6 or 7 years ago. I'm thinking it was aluminum. Had a dinette and head in the pilothouse area. Don't remember what brand it was.
Well maybe not. Discovering that they may be Helsen's not Allmand. Mine has Helsen main sail logo.
Like it! Very practical for nasty climates./ Len
