Thanks Jet. Yes, Tom, I bet LeComte learned alot by finishing Challengers (He'd been building fine wooden boats starting after WW II). And no doubt, those early designers were looking over each others shoulders and building on a world of wood construction knowlege.

More pics added and all are in 'albums'. Now, if I could only figure out how to put them in order!
