Paul and Yvonne Galvez have been taking their real beauty in International 14 restorations, US 104, Lorelei, a cedar planked, probably an early post-WWII International 14 of mysterious origins, out and about in California. First stop was the modern 2018 International 14 Worlds in San Francisco where the West Coast rag, Latitude 38, named Lorelei the most photographed 14 at the regatta. A most amazing feat given the surfeit of all the new technology; carbon, mylar, racks, double trapezes, gathered at the World Championship.
And in 2019? Best in Show! From Paul's email;
"Last year, we also took her to the Newport Beach Annual Wooden Boat Festival where she received Best in Show. The same show was cancelled this year for obvious reasons but we look forward to next year."Paul sends along some photos of the all-varnished beauty of Lorelei on display at the International 14 Worlds in Richmond, California.
