Fiberglass Noah C-1..what is it?

As some know from previous postings, I bought an old Noah Fiberglass C-1. I thought the boat was the standard 13.2 X 28 demension. After measuring it, it turns out to be 12.6 X 28. The color is yellow on top and natural on the bottom. It has the old white foam as pillars. The Noah trademark is imprinted in the bow and stern.
Any ideas about what model this is?
I am using the white foam and building a minicel pedestal that are attached to the white foam pillars. THe spray skirt I saved from the Gyromax and Slasher fit the cockpit well.
Thanks for the help.

Chuck,
Can you post a pic? If it doesn't have wings, then most likely it is an Atlantis.

NOt 13 inch deep

I remember that you thought it might be an Atlantis. I measured the depth of the cock pit and it is approx 11 inches.
I don't have access to a digital camara, sorry
Thanks

I contacted the builder and even he does not remember building this boat.

Chuck,
Best I can remember Vladamir only had 3 C-1 molds - Jape (wings), Ultramax (his mold had a groove down the center bow and stern) and the Atlantis.
I built 3 or 4 boats out of the ultramax mold - for each one he gave me a small paper ID card to laminate in the boat - See if you can find one laminated into your boat - it should be somewhere in the cockpit area.
But - if you deck is smooth and the boat doesn't have wings, I'm pretty sure it is the atlantis.

the Noah C-2 we have has a card laminated in that looks like a "form" - a variety of models are listed with a check mark indicating the boat it is! Ours is a "Moldau". One of these days we'll get it finished (cokpit rims, outside seam, and outfitting)...
thanks

I remember seeing the "form" when I glued the new minicell pedistal in. I thought it was the logo for the type of fiberglass that was used.
I have taken the boat out a couple of times. It is really neat to see how much faster these boats are. I was able to front durf in some pretty shallow waves and was very stable.
I am thinking that the boat is at least 25 years old. There are no patches, but one very small crack in the stern that I would appreciate your input into the best preventive fix.
