Classic 14 in Massachusetts

Simon Koch writes in:

"I am currently restoring a 14. I believe it is from the early 60's, it is made of fiberglass with wood spars and rod rigging. I have replaced the cap rails, faired and epoxy barrier coated the hull. I will send along some pictures. Any information about the boat is appreciated. It is located in Cape Ann MA."

Simon's 14 has a mainsail with the number 666, which was the number to Stuart Walker's famous Farrar designed "Salute" that won the POW in 1964. Unfortunately "Salute" was wood, built in England, so it appears this 14 may have inherited one of Stuart Walker's cast off sails. Awaiting photos so we can further ID this hull.
