Two sail numbers for one boat
22-03-2016
by Gurvan Jaouen, 22-03-2016
When she joined the french fleet, she was first numbered F14. She has been moved to F17 around 1962, for an unknown reason so far. Perhaps for a better matching with her original sail number K17?
5.5 K-17 > 5.5 I-20 > F-17 - history revealed

Charles Perry reports: "...Father sold her to Dr Beppe Croce in Italy in about 1957 or 58. Dr Croce was President of the IYRU...Beppe Croce did re-name "Vision" "Manuela IV"..."

In the "Aisher questionnaire" from the early 60's, 5.5 F-17 appears quoted as being "ex Manuela"
Data transfer for 5.5 ITA 20 - being confirmed an alias

5.5 ITA 020: Original or alias? - 30.04.2008 by Kaspar Stubenrauch
Given the matching data on ITA 20 and GBR 17, we might have another original/alias case. Assumption: GBR 17 might have been bought by an Italian, after her silver metal in Melbourne, to become ITA 20. Anyone having historic info on both sailnumbers, please place a note here.


Nota Bene about ownership - 26.04.2008 by Site Administrator
