Skip, I've been enjoying Dick Carter's autobiography, which includes some mentions and good photos of you from the 1969 Fastnet race - which you guys won aboard his Red Rooster.
For everyone, I highly recommend the book. Carter had some mind-boggling successes, such as winning the Fastnet with Rabbit, the first boat he ever designed - with zero formal design training. He also has some surprising opinions. For example, that a small main and big jib are better for shorthanded crews or cruising, because of the potential danger of a long boom. Tacking with my #1 jib, I would beg to differ!
Years ago before I bought my Martin, I looked at a Carter 30 for sale in Alameda. A little frumpy looking, but I bet it would have been a pretty cool boat.
The book is Dick Carter, Yacht Designer: In the Golden Age of Offshore Racing. Check it out!
