You do not play fair, it took forever to figure this one out, and I may be incorrect, but a wild a$$ed guess ... a Chris White design and was possibly built in the USA (Massachusetts, I think) so that would be the northern hemisphere

Gavin,

Fair ??? I made it so easy ! How many Oceans are there? I will have to make the next one a tad more difficult. Gavin, 10 out of 10 for the designer. Zero for the model :- Atlantic.

# 2. This one is also called "Amaryllis" what model ? If you get that right, who designed ?

It is similar in profile to the Iriquois designs , but I can get no closer than that. (were the iriquois' a U.S. or Pommy (Limey) design ????

Pretty good guess coming from an Aussie ! It is indeed an Iraquois class catamaran - others by the same designer were also named after Native American tribes.

The Iraquois was first built in Brightlingsea .

Some of these birds are genetically blue - they also fly south.

What's this give up business?

There are hundreds of catamarans in different models by this Marque - some with same model name which will have altered in design over time --- as one sees in car models.

This one had almost vertical transoms in the beginning. Lousy bridge deck clearance - no dagger boards to help it sail to windward.

Please send a complaint to Google.

Richard
