Here's another Cowes-Torquay competitor. Blue Moppie is a Bertram that also sported Florida tags

bored...
I don't think the FL registrations are a big deal overseas at a later point
they would have had to register them to be able to use them legally for testing or whatever, on the waterways around here anyway

This is exactly my point. FL tags in Europe are not a big deal so, with respects to the WMII picture, they are a non-issue and cannot be used to assume location.Originally Posted by BUIZILLA

How about that life vest that Jim Wynne is wearing in the picture. Is that European issue with the neck surround? Would an EMEA issued life vest be different than a USCG issued?

I have far too many boats, just ask my Wife.

So I was right, it was after 1958. Finding the race sign up and results list for the 1961 OB Regatta is easy but I really only care about 1964 timelines so I'm out on anything that occurred in 1961.

Yes, nice finds!
It is interesting to note that the Wynn Mill II plans at Mystic show a July 20, 1962 date and we know that the Wynn Mill II was in competition in 1961...
How do we square that circle?

Jim's Wynne Mill was built by Howard Abbey.
Ask Brownie, he was there building it right beside him.

When boats are only used for racing they don't need a registration.
The second owner used it for recreation and therefore registered it and was the last person to do so. Jim May have registered it but was not the last person.
