Notes
- 5.5 Z 56 "Michel" - a Pierre Noverraz design - 09.11.2019 by Kaspar Stubenrauch
- Michel Noverraz reports: The boat Z-56 was designed by P. Noverraz in 1962 and built in 1963 by Corsier-Port, for P. Noverraz and M.J. Rossi, the first boatname being "Michel".
- 5.5 Z-52(?) "Michel" - in 1963 - 17.02.2017 by Kaspar Stubenrauch
- The list of the Swiss Championship 1963 is featuring "Michel", owned by Noverraz & Rossi. However with sailnumber Z-52, a number already given to the Aga Khan. Maybe he had given some sails to "Michel", for that Regatta...
- Original Sailnumber for 5.5 NED 13? - 17.02.2017 by Kaspar Stubenrauch
- We are searching for the origin of NED 13, as the connection to SUI 56 cannot be maintained. With an LoA of 9,558m the boat does not fit the LoA of SUI 56, which is 9,467m. The entries for SUI 56 and NED 13 will therefore be separated.
- Notes received from Frits Kruyt, Nov.2007. - 29.06.2008 by Site Administrator
- Little is known for sure. Old sails show the number Z-26, but Matti Muoniovaara mentions Z-56 as original sail numer. Nickname Banaan (Banana) was on the boat for some years
