I have been researching a sailboat my father owned at Duck Pond, Marblehead,Mass. during the late 1970's. It was a 38' wooden racing sloop designed by Carl Alberg after WWII. Perhaps you would consider adding this boat to your database. Attached are several photos of my father's boat, the Serenity (previously named the Watusi) and a drawing. I have the bill of sale. I do not know what became of her since 1980. Thanks for your efforts.
In the cradle... Beautiful lines...

My boat, the #25 boat, was built in 1947 for Bradley P. Noyes by his father Harry Noyes who owned the Quincy Adams Shipyard and started the Tioga class. Originally she was named Chimaera, later Woofie and Nike. I bought her in 1978 from Bill Price and named her Eclipse.
A number of them were at Redd's Pond in Marblehead, when not in use, mine included.
