Gotta love them 'side paddles'... sort of like a seal's flippers, aren't they? :D

Looks like some flavor of L.FH.'s Meadowlark design.

[Ian McColgin]

One tampers with the master at one's peril, but were I to make a Meadow Lark or her larger sister the Golden Ball, I'd be tempted to ask Phil Bolger if he could spiff up the lee boards a bit.

By the way, I did some experiments some years back and what LFH said is true: For short tacking you can just let the lazy board "broken wing" and not bother shipping it unless the tack is long enough to justify the work.

The type has a very rolly polly nature on a very broad reach or run since the boards must be up and there's not much to dampen so the serious cruise might arrange a head sail of the 'twissler' type - essentiall twin jibs with a hinged pole such that the clews ride out ahead of the bow.
