I just bought a 19' Cape Cod Knockabout daysailer. The boat has
has plenty of room for daysailing, the cockpit area is 5' by 10'
and is a keel boat. The boat looks a bit like a Flying Scott.
If anyone has one or knows much about who designed her or where
the Cape Cod Knockabouts were built, please respond!

The boat you describe sounds a lot like the Cape Cod Knockabout class
which used to have extensive fleets in and around Cape Cod and the
Islands. They are still raced in Woods Hole and I believe still have a
National Championship.
What throws me is the keel, as every one I have ever seen has been a
centerboarder, and the beam, which I would guess to be more like 4-4.5
feet.
A visit to the Woods Hole Yacht Club would confirm whether this is the
same boat, or perhaps an exchange of photographs with the Assn in .1
would provide what you need. Either way, the centerboarders I've known
have been delightful boats.
Good luck.
