between 1939 and 1953. Another hundred were molded in fiber glass from 

 1953 to 1959, when the O'Day Corporation took over the rights to build the 

 boat. 



The original boat is still being raced by many of the "hottest" sailors on 

 Long Island Sound, at the Larchmont Yacht Club. As a Frostbite racer, the 

 class is beginning to spread, with fleets now at Marblehead, Duxbury, 

 Scituate, and Harvard University in Massachusetts; Manhasset Bay, City 

 Island, and Kingspoint on Long Island Sound; Rochester and Cornell Uni- 

 versity in upper New York State. The class has no central organization and 

 is primarily used for winter Frostbite or intercollegiate racing. There are 

 about 295 now in the class. Price is $875 for new boats, $750 for used; kits 

 are not available. 



VITAL statistics: L.O.A. ii'6"; waterline ii'6"; beam 4'8"; draft 

 without centerboard 6'\ with C.B. 3'6"; sail area 72 sq. ft. (no spinnaker); 

 weight 200 lbs.; trailable; racing crew, two.
