Hi Ed,

OC44 is correct. The green boat with the red trim is the boat Michael sailed in Spain. The brownish boat with the silver sails ( jib out of place :wink: ) is Michaels evolution with slight changes to the lines. Actually the boats with sail # 13 & 33 are also Michaels designs. So as you can see he has gone through some drastic evolution on his designs.
