There's an elderly British lady who sails a 50 odd foot boat that looks quite similar, though I believe hers is English built.
She cruises the islands every year and is pretty much a full-time liveaboard with 2 big dogs and a native crew. She races at Antigua race week and is quite the character.
Last year we saw the boat hauled and you could have knocked me over with a feather. I had expected the traditional long keel with the rudder hung on the back! Not so fair friends, she was a radical fin keel with a post hung spade rudder.
So, once again, never judge the underbody of a boat by her topside looks.
