I think they are from left to right SHENANDOAH, TASMAN, & LADY MARGARET (by C Wild).
The RHS boat has a hard chine & ALSESTIS/RAINOA has a round bilge, with no hard chine, & visible chine line, at the bow.
Also, all of the flares on the bows, on all of the boats, don’t look anything like the ALSESTIS flare to me. — KEN R
