This boat has been in a barn for 30 years and is up for restoration.  The name "Rondo" is faintly visible in gold leaf on the stern.  It is a Proctor design, clinker built of scarfed Burmese mahogany screwed in.  Finish is entirely brightwork with a plated stem cover.  The mast is aluminum.  The boom is wooden.  
 
It would appear this craft is a 1952 hybrid, one of three.  If so, it should be in a museum rather than turning heads at the Pensacola Yacht Club.  Am I on course?
