In an attempt to rejoin all existing participant boats of the 1968 Acapulco Olympic sailing regattas during summer 2018 for a 50th anniversary event, the search is on for 5.5 SUI 96, last named "Galatea" and located then on Lake Zürich. Who can help?
5.5 Z-96 "Revenge II" - in the 70s
28-07-2014
by Kaspar Stubenrauch, 28-07-2014
H. Haffter, owner from 1974 to 1978 reports on "Revenge II":
She was maintained at the Boatyard Heinrich in Kreuzlingen, which built a separate rudder for her, making the original rudder smaller, to become a trim tab.
From all the many boats he has been experiencing, he says, that the 5.5 was the most elegant and nicest to sail.
