Notes

5.5 US-10 "Pathfinder" - Design by Whiton - 29.12.2008 by Kaspar Stubenrauch
In an interview with YACHTING in June 1963, A. E. LUDERS, Jr. is commenting about the design of "Pathfinder":
"...Herman Whiton designed one for himself called the "Pathfinder" which we built for him..."
The complete text can be seen in the notes for US-6.
Pathfinder - 26.11.2008 by Daniel Rossi
I have a copy of the August 13, 1956 Sports Illustrated magazine that shows a picture of Pathfinder and another 5.5 in the background owned by Edward DuPont. The article cover the Olymipics and one additional photo of Complex II.
