Can anyone identify this sailboat?
 
Bermuda Tourism is running an ad in major magazines that shows a woman
golfer in the center and a sail boat in each of the four corners.

The sailboat appears to be about a 30 foot keelboat, Green with blue bottom.
It has the lines of a 12 meter but obviously is smaller.

Can anyone identify what class it is?

Thanks

Without seeing the picture I'd guess its an International One Design. Its
actually based on a 6-meter, and was originally used for a series of team races
between Bermuda and Long Island Sound.

I have not seen the magazine advert either, but there is an active fleet of
IODs in Bermuda, making it quite likely that it is an IOD in the photo used in
the ad.
