Old Quarter Tonners -Magic Bus

[booster]

Perhaps I was right although it was a half-tonner. Still I think Gary B has a point in Eivind. The small wings on the cabin that Baul B talked about is Still. The lever arms is typically Finland sisu, as well as the connection of the tiller to the rudder stock.

The quickest Kelly half tonner was the very expensively built Don Quixote, IIRC. It went quite well; top 10 in a worlds or two, IIRC. Chloe was a similar boat at 38 feet.

I recall DQ getting a lot of press because it was one of the first "baked" boats with carbon skins and, I believe, honeycomb core. However, I don't recall it doing very well in competition.

Chloe was a very small Two Tonner at 38 feet, and was crushed at the SORC they attended ('79 or '80?).

Runaway Bus is a slightly different design; more freeboard and a narrower stern, IIRC.

I have a copy of an article about its first Burnham Week in storage somewhere; it's definitely a different boat.
