Sail Numbers, contd.

Timm, I noticed your sail number for California Girl is 6853, which as Charlie H. informed me, was probably and old IOR number, and with the first digit of 6, would have been a number assigned to a Chicago racing boat. Any story there? By the way congrats, nothing like racing when your teeth are chattering. Regards, David Dobbs

Well, Cal Gal (ex Be Be To / Wind Wraith) did race out of Michigan in her early days, and was converted to IOR (mast taller, boom shorter and a blooper) Here she is racing in 1975 on Lake Michigan.
