waikiore 397 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Looks like an old Jim Young, there was a rotten one in the creek at Milford but that one looks in much better shape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 nothing on google but his book pg 86 shows a beautiful looking 24' design his brother stretched out to 26' called vitesse in 1962 similar with the rounded bridgedeck but the lines below seem to show skegs, not seen on trailer boat ^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Delacruz 1 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Erice yes it could be Vitesse . Competed in many cruising and harbour races with Glendowie Yacht Club in the 70's . We regularly had 12 yachts racing in both the A and B divisions. It was a Greg Young design owned at the time by Rolly Grifith, if my memory is correct . Duncan ( cookie) would know more about it .
