Doug Lupe sends along some photos of Stradivarius, his Kirby IV out in this summer of Covid-19. Doug was sailing with his daughters, alternating who got to be the trapeze hand.
Stradivarius has quite a pedigree. She was the 14 that Steve Toschi and Dave Klipfel used in winning the 1975 POW, the second American to do so. It was the 14 I had my most success in, when I was teamed up with Bill Moss in the early 1980's. It is good to see the old girl, US 960, still going strong. She brings back many memories.
Here's a small, grainy photo of Bill and I taking Stradivarius down a spinnaker reach, probably 1980.
