I'd love to see the uncropped photo... assuming the bottom is cropped.

Insight in preceding photo looks like a Morgan 36 NM when they were trying to build race boats.

Oh, there's a boat in the background...

Oh yeah, you're right. I see it now. Nice yellow spinnaker.

Any images of Cats Paw, I think a Serendipity 43 out of the Annapolis area from the 80's? Ed passed away a little while ago and we were just talking about him the other day.

Thanks for some great reminders of past sailing.

Insight in preceding photo looks like a Morgan 36 NM when they were trying to build race boats.

That is definitely the Morgan build of the N/M 36. Interesting that it has the race rig (3 spreaders) but the cruising cockpit.

Larry, do you have any more photos of the '83 Morgan N/M 36's? They are excellent boats that still are performing at the top of their fleets.

Sailed against Insight in the northern gulf coast many times over the years. Can't remember her hometown, but she was always at the big regattas. I always likes the lines on her.

Thanks,

"That Cat" for sure, I did the '86 SORC with Ed & Betty. Sorry to hear he's gone.

Are you certain? There was a boat of that name (IIRC) that was a sistership to 'SECRET LOVE', a Peterson 45.Black hull, maybe? Pictured earlier in this thread.

Wunder Bear. Clarence Blackwell. AYC. CHT 48. Storm Trysail Week 1983, Block Island RI. IOR Class 1, rated 38.2.

What does CHT mean? I found the scratch sheet for 1983 STW, but it only has abbreviations for designers.

It means Choate as in Choate 40.

Thanks, House Salad. : )

I've updated my scratch sheet.

VERY flat sails.

 

[JoeO]

VERY flat sails.

For now... (they're dacron!)

 

[On The Hard]

VERY flat sails.

My initial thought too as I looked at the pic. not a bit of draft anywhere to be seen. At least not on the Genny. We usually didn't sheet that tight unless it was blowing a lot harder than what that pic shows.

Infinity. John Thomson. Storm Trysail Club. Holland 47. 1983 SORC Class B, rated IOR 36.2. Miami to Nassau Race.
