The design looks like one of Platt Monfort's geodesic designs. A
Snowshoe 12, perhaps?
Compare your picture with:

I bet the "family boat" that the thread seems to be about could be found
among the Geodesic Airolite designs. What about a Classic 12? I like
this aerial view:

Built with a thicker polyester skin (than 3.7 oz) and covered with that
graphite/epoxy mix that Platt experiments with?

And while you're at the site... You really should have a look at the
rest of the boats at:

The diversity of boats that Mr Monfort has created gave me inspiration
to start creating Eo. I'll always be grateful to him for that.
