In the photo is it just me or does the person at the bow resemble a woman in pants?

Very likely a woman and seated on the starboard side in a white blouse holding her hat on and possibly the person next to her as well having a large hat.

The boat in the photo has a low cabin while the boat in the engraving does not.

I am more impressed with the knowledge displayed on this thread than most threads I have read this year, regardless of subject matter.

Edgar, some of us saw that collection when you brought it to Addievillea few years ago just after you bought it at auction.

You are correct; there are two women on the Stbd side, along with a gentleman, a small boy, and the helmsman, with tiller in hand. There is also a lady, and gentleman on the port side.
A characteristic of cats is their spacious cockpit, but it looks like you could have quite the gathering in this one.
