- About measurement as 5.5 S.I. in 1992 no doubts but… before? Is it viewable?
- 5.5 SUI 179 "PO IX" - built in 1992 - 13.09.2018 by Kaspar Stubenrauch
- The Portier boatyard has reconfirmed, that 5.5 SUI 179 was built to the 5.5m Rule, the M.C. in the document section has all relevant details.
The deckshouse & engine came later. The boat was built using wood laminate. - SUI 179 - 13.09.2018 by Brambilla Andrea
- Please are you sure Pio IX was originally built as 5.5? Is it a wooden hull?
- 5.5 SUI 179 - modified - 25.10.2016 by Kaspar Stubenrauch
- The "PO9" was built as a 5.5m racer and later converted for cruising, hence today featuring a small deckhouse, benches and an engine.
