Found it casually while doing a search in Internet... I love those hull lines and just wanted to let the world know.

Cheers

Yes, this was the type of boat that made oilskins popular. Low freeboard means less aerodynamic drag, easy slack lines mean easily driven to wave-making hull speed which means a fast fun wet boat. A buddy owned one in the 70s and he said it would soak you in 5 knot breeze.... though he did live aboard for five years so it must not have been too bad.

What a nice boat. How many modern yachts will still be on the water in 100 years?
