Here's a very interesting design that one of our brokers brought to my attention yesterday. It is our attempt at an ultra light displacement "sled" for West Coast racing. There are a couple of notable design features such as the very small amount of rocker in her underbody, her extremely low ballast/displacement ratio (28%) and the location of her engine.
The boat was built of aluminum by Paul Luke of East Boothbay, Maine. She was launched in 1977.
These articles tell the story well. Please double click for zoom.
Here are the plans.

LWL 46'-0"
