The model: Dan commissioned this hull to be built by Pete Schille back in 2006 and did the finish work with his granddaughter Alexa's help.  It made its debut at the 2007 Harmsworth Trophy race.  As you can see, they did a great job with the detailing and the boat turned out excellent. Dan later sold the boat to Dale Schroeder for 2008.  Dale later sold it to Kevin Hansen, who will campaign it in 2009.

The real boat:  The mighty "Green Dragon" dominated competition from 1963-1965, winning three straight National Championships with driver Ron Musson.  This was the third, and arguably the most successful Miss Bardahl of the group.
