US-49 R.I.P.

Sad end to a great warhorse. When I moved to the Bay Area in 1986 this was THE boat on the bay. Blackhaller was the king of the roost and Paul, who would later become the "Great Cayardini" was his protege. Good times in the sailing community. (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge say no more, eh!)

One of the designers, Phil Kaiko worked on the America True effort of which the olde Rumbear was on the periphery.

Blackhaller is gone and now has a bouy named after him. Us-49? She is gone. Paul???? Where is he???
