After reading Mike O’Brien’s review of Oonagh in WB No. 237, David Keller thought it was just the boat to fit his needs. He hadn't built a boat before, didn’t let that prevent him from ordering plans from Doug Hylan (http://www.dhylanboats.com).
WOODPECKER was purchased from the estate of Donald Holstein, who campaigned her in many Chicago and Port Huron to Mackinac races. She raced in the US One Ton and World One Ton championships in 1979 and 1980.
WOODPECKER is being fully restored by her new owner.
CHUBASCO was launched in 1939 for William L. Stewart, built by Wilmington Boat Works of California. Through three owners, she has been a major player in the Southern California racing scene. Her race record is extensive.
