This was a 17’ model of a 60’ Singapore sampan that I restored and sailed around Newport California harbor after towing it fro Newport Rhode Island. In spite of being much heavier than its fiberglass counterparts it was much faster.
The naval architect that did the loftings for this little boat was the same guy that designed the PT Boatand the Mine Sweeper of WW2 vintage, Henry Rusk.
