Notes
- 5.5 F 88 "Bewitched IV" - racing in the 80's - 11.05.2020 by Kaspar Stubenrauch
- A picture from an Int. 5.5m Class bochure, is showing F-88 racing next to S-63. Timing believed to be around 1986-1988, the photo taken by Jacques-Henry Addor. Anyone who can give info on when that regatta was sailed and where is welcome to comment. The Lepage ownership entry will be adjusted to FRA 88.
- 5.5 SUI 88 - First French ownership - 20.02.2011 by Kaspar Stubenrauch
- As the number F-88 had not been assigned officially, the Inventory will list this boat for the Lepage ownership as SUI 88.
- Malloh-Ru III - 05.10.2007 by Louis Pillon
- Malloh-Ru et Malloh-Ru II, bateaux de G. Demoment, n'étaient pas des 5,5 m JI. Pour ceux qui ne comprennent pas le breton, ce nom veut dire "Malédiction rouge" tout en étant un des pires jurons bretons...
Voir aux pages 70-71 du N° 195 du Chasse-Marée l'article du "Chasse-Marée" signé par Gwendal Jaffry, mais dont j'ai assuré la recherche (mais pas la relecture...). - Doubt on name : Malloh-Ru II or III ? - 04.10.2007 by Site Administrator
- Notes from Louis Pillon (04.10.07) mentionned one time "Malloh-Ru II", one time "Malloh-Ru III"
- Re-birth of the french association - 04.10.2007 by Site Administrator
- Note from Louis Pillon 04.10.07 : En 1990, l'association des 5,5 m JI sort du sommeil et entreprend de faire du ménage dans les N°, et ce même bateau prend le N° FRA-040 !
- Why FRA-088 ? - 04.10.2007 by Site Administrator
- Note from Louis Pillon 04.10.07 : En 1981, le bateau est acheté par un Français, M. Lepage qui le rebaptise "Bewitched IV". Sans association de classe pour le numéroter, il lui donne le N° F 88.
