When the boat was new it did not have the orange "Pay-N_Pak stripe that goes up the vertical wing support. Looking back it doesn't look right without it. Anybody know the timetable/circumstances of when the stripes were added ?

Proudly joining the 1973 Miss Pay N Pak group. Special thank you to Mike Hanson who is teaching myself and the crew a great deal about refurbishing this great race boat

Moving back to Seattle around the first of the year. hope there is room for me on the restoration crew then. I can twist a wrench or screwdriver where told to, though I freely admit, I am no mechanic by trade. good luck to all of ye!
