"On The Plane" Several Photos

"On the Plane" was the name of the U.S. International 14 newsletter in the 1960's (the name would be changed to "Planing On" in the 1970's).  Probably due to production costs in the 1960's, OTP (On the Plane) was limited to one photo per issue; on the first page, just inside the cover. Here are the scans of the photos, with the accompanying captions, from the issues I have in my possession.

OTP Jan 1966: Start of a the 1964 National Regatta, California


OTP April 1967: The British who have won the last two International Team Races


OTP August 1966: Don McVittie, The National Regatta on Puget Sound


OTP June 1967: Stuart Walker and Lev Huntington in Bermuda. US 800, "Daring", was a Souter design.


OTP May 1966: Stuart Walker and Lev Huntington, Winner of the 1966 Yachting One-of-a-Kind with five firsts.



OTP November 1966: From Left to Right: Lee Veneklassen in his own design, Bob Curry in a Proctor VII or VIII, Tom Eakins in a Souter Casson, Van de Verg in a Schock, Ben Green in his Marscot "Greene", and Roger Welsh in "14 Karat".
