As i open the sss page there appears to be a minitransat racer. The boat number is 50. Curiousity may kill me but what kind of sailboat is it?

Jim would get a kick out of Haulback (a Spencer 35) being confused with a Mini, but with that hard dodger and only seeing part of the boat, it's understandable. Here's a photo from the 2002 race:

I must admit that, in my humble opinion at least, Mr Starboard has extremely refined taste (not to mention flawless judgement) in his appreciation of classic plastic.

Lets hear a round of applause.

Who would have ever imagined!!!

she is a pretty boat and thank you for the full picture. I wonder what it (the picture) is worth?
