tom, saynora was our slip-mate at our club on lake erie. mid60's to mid 70's. i'm 99 % sure that was the same vessel. dad's close friend owned her and took great care of her. always in top shape. the owner had beautiful daughters that were top sailors. crewed many times aboard her. it was one of the more sailed boats over every season. the daughters crewed for me on the US one design many times. she was fast and lots of large racing sails available.
