Notes
- 5.5 US 96 - built in 1989 - 07.04.2018 by Kaspar Stubenrauch
- Tony Smythe reports: "...she was in fact built by Norman Owens (Owens Yachts large builder of powerboats throughout the 40s-60s). Charles Milby assisted him in the construction of the 5.5 in his garage in Nassau Bay. I watched them build her. She was finished just in time for the US Champs hosted by us in '89.

- Charles Milby reports: "...I helped Norman build it. We raced here on the bay, she was a fast light air boat. His son took it to California, I lost track of her. It would be great to see her again...."
So, Charles, here she is!

- Thanks to a hint from Tom Price, Dan Rossi reports on this recently discovered boat:
"...Modern looking boat with an "Intrepid" bow and a vertical keel. Keel bolts on and canoe body has no real built down keel. Very dried out and no deck....the keel and trim tab (which also appears to be lead) inside. The beaver tail looking bulb had wider wings aft before but had been trimmed to make it legal I was told...."
Dan plans to take care of her. - 5.5 USA 96 - Designer, Builder & Location? - 28.08.2014 by Kaspar Stubenrauch
- Our search is threefold, now:
Who designed the boat?
Who has built it?
Where is it today?
Contributions highly appreciated! - Jalapena - 14.08.2012 by Matti Muoniovaara
- Because the boat is built of wood, it's not a Melges boat.
