Yes, it is in running order and I believe that they had the boat out on the lake in Clayton, after they pulled it from the auction.

Barry Cohen has mentioned several times that he would love to be able to race in a Cowes - Torquay Race, over in England, so he had the boat restored so it would be available if he decided to race it.

It looks like Jim Wynne is all alone on the boat in this shot. His riding mechanic is on the floor with 2 broken ankles and holding on for dear life.

What was the construction of the hull ? Framed and I assume plywood or just cold molded plywood ? I know the Europeans adapted plywood and cold molding years before the US.
