Hi Eric
Sorry, not a bluenose. The general hull shape looks close, but that is
true of lots from that era. The cabin would be a one-off for sure, I've
never seen a bluenose with one that big. And the rig is wrong, the
upper diamond is too high for a bluenose - the jumper stays are about
1/3rd from the top on a bluenose, those are higher.
The one we built when I was a kid is in this picture, B-79

From the overall hull shape and way the hull comes out of the water
well before the stern, the best match of all the responses was from
Dwight, who thought it might be a Bluenose sloop, first built in 1946.
Also note the way the mast is stayed, with upper shrouds pushed
forward (they must have a correct name, but I don't know it). The
later ones were fiberglass (built by McVay - wouldn't you know,
another Canadian classic design!) and most seem to have little or no
cabin, but some pictures do have small cabins, so perhaps that was
done to the boat I saw. Here is a website describing them if you care
to match specs with the photos I posted:

Or just Google Bluenose sloop.
Here are my two photos (again) for comparison.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
