Design 1819 Pieces of Eight

Heres one of the mystery projects in the archives. Normally we would expect to find a small scale study file folder with letter size copies of plans, articles, etc. in our "small scale" drawers. In addition we would expect to find a photograph or two in our "photos files". Not so for this boat.

It is not until we go physically looking through the rolls of plans do we come across some of these designs. The plans that are generally poorly documented are the powerboat files for some reason I cant explain.

I was even more surprised to find the boat had been built by Robert E. Derecktor, of wood. She was designed and built for Arvard Fuller, son of the founder of Fuller Brush Company. Reviewing the files I can see that Mr. Fuller was a repeat customer, also with some well known and interesting boats such as Diogones, design #1534. The boat was launched in 1965.

Here are the plans.
