Another Birkett creation. Sank 175 miles from the finish, while ahead of the record. If it had set the record, it would have set ocean boat building back a hundred years.

Curious as to why? I don't even want to speculate.

I've looked all over the net trying to find out more about the boat. Not much out there unless I'm looking in the wrong spots.
What year was it? I have a lot of old Mags stored.
