What a cool shot... A B31 next to the original hull #1 Jim Smith (Boca Jima??), a couple of Merritts, and whats that in between the two Merritts... a Whittaker??
I don't know what the world may want,
But a good stiff drink it surely dont,
Think I'll go and fix myself...a tall one.

I know of three 31's that took part in the Cat Cay Tournament one year or another: THUNDERBIRD, HOPALONG, and STORMY PETREL (Tommy Giffords boat)

Great shot. But out of that fleet I'm afraid our beloved 31 is just an ugly duckling

Craig,

It's browser resolution... In IE10, if I reduce the browser zoom level to 75% the image is shown as smaller, but complete.
Br,

Thanks Craig! Love the old photos especially men in pleated slacks and sports coats out fishing. It's very Gilligans island..

Someone had posted in another post but I can't find it now, a 31 with an orange hull. I believe that was Hull #1.

That orange boat is a real early boat---if you look really close --it looks like the bridge is a seperate mold that was attached--also never saw one with that teak trim.
