The model:  Nels surprised us at the 2010 Mapes with this new boat which was built as a group effort by a team of friends called The Halse Group.  They did a great job on it and it runs great.  Nels and the group can certainly be proud of this one.  Can't wait to see what he's got planned for the future.

The real boat:  The boat was of Ted Jones design, was about 31 feet long, 12'9" wide and was built in only about five months.  The boat was competitive right our of the box.  Driver Chuck Thompson drove the boat to victory at the 1963 Seafair Regatta.
