Dan commissioned Mitch Dillard to build a brand new hull that will become his latest Miss Spokane for 2007.  He will be laying mahogany on the decks using a new technique.  Dan does beautiful detail work and we can't wait to get a look at it.

About the real boat: Sponsored by the Greater Spokane community, the “Lilac Lady” never was overpowering.  Driver, Captain Dallas Sartz got everything he could from the boat and she was distinctive in the Lilac and Purple colors.  The Miss Spokane had a tendency to have her tail destroyed or damaged in many races in 1958 and had 3-4 different tail configurations during the season. In 1960 the boat completely Lilac and Purple and was outfitted with the freeform tail.  Rex Manchester took the wheel in that season.
