The model:  This is a beautiful model built by a new member.  It was built with real mahogany planks on the deck and great detail.  Bryan did a great job making his first boat really nice.  He's working the bugs out of the set up, but this boat's a knockout.  Frankly, the real boat never looked this good.

The real boat:  This is the 1962 B&I (not the earlier Bob Gilliam U-88).  It is a Staudacher hull which was initially Gale IV, then became Wildroot Charlie, then Miss Everett(1960), then Miss Cutie Radio(1961), and then Miss B&I  (1962).
