Looks like a C-30 Mk II, or possibly a III (I can't see the transom clearly enough). I'm not sure the keel is gone, as described in the story--I think I might see it.
What do you say to the people who leave their sails on in the face of a hurricane??
look at the bow has an extended sow spirit. that tells me it is a 30 mark 2 or 3 tall rig. dave holtgrave 5722 sk/tr hard and getting warmer in southern illinois near carlyle lake
That is sad to see alright, and I feel sorry for the owner, but at least his boat is above water, how about the boat owner in the slip on the left of the picture? Just a mast sticking out of the water, with a totally shreaded head sail to boot. Mother Nature can be cruel.
Which one Paul? I was wondering what would be worse. Sinking (assuming no hull breach -- just too much water) or the potential structural damage that must have occurred landing on top of the pier?
I was thinking about the c30 on the pier, not a clue on the cost of obtaining it or where to go to find out if it's even available / feasable.
There's no sign of the keel in the pic, but from this distance the mast looks intact, but the rigging must be shot and the stays may have pulled the hull.
I think the trailing edge of the keel might be to the right of the little spot of light beneath the boat. It may have crunched the dock more than the other way around. I'd say the whole thing may have held up pretty well!
