Excellent appraisal of the Finisterre’s influence on the development of our type of boat in John Rousmaniere’s obituary of Carleton Mitchell, who passed away aged 96 on July 16th, 2007 at http://www.sail-world.com/indexs.cfm?nid=35798
FINESTERREs sistership FIDELIO is in Rockport Maine.
Thanks Iain, that's a nice article. I love the styling of these boats of this era. FIDELIO is one of my favorite boats that emerges from Rockport Marine every spring. And you can see the influence in the Aldens of late 50's and 60's and of course a long list of other CCA influenced boats of the time. And a great way to test our photo loader with a picture of FIDELIO which I think captures the lines of the boat.
