original brochure
note the rudder post and the lines led aft under the keel cover.

I have a collection of these and other artifacts.

The line drawing has been updated to include a small bulb keel but if you look closely at one of the pics it is an early version with centerboard.

The rudder post (stump) was an afterthought and not part of the original deck mold.

Glenn,
Do you have a higher resolution scan of the brochure? The only hull lines I have seen.

Wow...I wonder what happened to Hull#2?

There's another cool old school shot here...

The keel appears to be sticking up through the deck?

I wonder if that's Jay's daggerboard.. ???

LOL...look at the rudders! Give me one of those about 12" longer

Early version originally had a centerboard.
