I thought 28 Newport until I saw it out of the water...
What make is she? And I do mean the BOAT!

It's a Rawson 30. They made most of their craft prior to understanding the strength of fiberglass. She was a floating brick s**t house with at least 1/2" thickness of glass in the cabin...many times that in the hull. She carried 5000lbs of lead in her keel (19000 overall). We lived aboard her for four of the best years of our lives. She had a lot of weather helm when we got her. We made a new compliment of sails with the headsail being much smaller than the original. After that modification we easily beat any other Rawson we ever raced (sailed with, same thing). She was the "Dorothy Mae"

I meant to say we changed the main sail, not the head sail.
