That's it; it is a TRAPEZ class dinghy. This was a high
performance all-purpose dinghy designed by Paul Elvstrom and
built by his company; not very many here in the US (in fact
I'm a little surprised there's any). It was capable of being
rigged as a cat for single handing or a sloop for two;
intended to be an international & Olympic class for the
truest possible one-design competition.

It was a pretty nice boat but IMHO never really matched the
470 for 2 or the Contender for 1.

Thanks DSK,
It's teh exact same boat.

So it seems to be a little old and in a class of its own.

Txs for the help.
