She was the first but not the last in a series of vintage glass boats that I've had the good fortune to sail on, culminating most recently in my purchase of a 1970 Tartan 27, Hull#487. I've always preferred sailboats from the early era of fiberglass construction and I have no doubt that it's because I was introduced to a design with character and grace at such an early age.
