Notes

- The boat is found. It was owned by Al Cassel. The name of the boat is still unclear. Al Cassel developed hydraulically actuated tilting mast devices. The entire rig was set up in a box-like structure which was tilted in the boat by hydraulic means. These contrivances were used to tilt the rig to windward which is supposed to reduce the heeling moment of the rig. There was considerable discussion within the 5.5-Meter class regarding the legality of these devices, however no one protested.
The boat raced in Sandhamn World Championship 1969 and the skipper was Al Cassel. Al was the president of the 5.5 class in the 80's.
The design comes from B. King year 1968.
Already 1971 Al Cassel uses another boat Scat VI of Aga Khan. Later in the 80's he had Warrior III and IV. - Information - 04.04.2008 by Matti Muoniovaara
- Wildfire (red painted) US-84 was a boat of Albert Fay. Originally the boat was Akuna KA-30 (with the canoe bow) built 1973 by Ian Perdriau in Australia. The design was by Luders (as Arunga KA-28 and Antares KA-29). The boat in the photos is built 1967-68 (the ruuder is attached to the keel) and has no second spade rudder. It is another boat. Ernie Fay had a boat named Sundance US-81. It was equipped 1972 with a new separate spade rudder. This boat US-75 has no separate rudder and can not be Sundance. In my records there is no information about US-75. The next earlier Fay 5.5 is Ernie's Pride US-31 which Fays used from 1962 until 1971.

- I bought this boat in the fall of 2006. It way located in Crisfield, MD (USA). Sail numbers indicate it is US-75 which I traced to the original owner being Fay.
