I have a short list of a few Bristol 27's. I own #200 which is a 67, list shows #202 as a 67, then the next one is #238 as a 68.
Hope this helps.

I voted for the outboard storage of the pole (while not racing). On a boat I raced on while we were puttering around the pole would be in both chocks outboard.
