Can Anyone ID this Boat for Me - Please

[david samuelson]

Is there anyone who can tell me what type of boat this is? Design? Builder? yard? It is about 46' long. Thanks, David

[captainKJ]

for starters it is a monohull sailboat,,,,,,the rest i do not know,,,but like the lines on it

Possibly a Norseman 44 built by Ta Shing in Taiwan? Bob Perry design I think. Ta Shing builds a good boat.

I was going to say Kalik 44, but I think they had iron keels.

Looks like a Norseman but has too many hull ports I think.

Looks like a Kalik to me. Here's one ...1981 Kalik 44 sailboat for sale in Virginia

Doodles looks like he's hit it. The photos match pretty well. On other issues... how can you tell what the keel is made of from a photo where the keel is painted?

I made the keel comment based on the picture looked like the boat had its gelcoat peeled, and that it included the keel. But now that I look more closely, I see that it is probably red paint that had been ground off back to white primer and not white gelcoat peeled back to glass. And I think I see a keel stub, so the keel may be steel. If so, it is in good shape!
