Avocet

Avocet 1 was the first prototype built for Yamaha and was the first boat built as a prototype for a consumer product. It used a unirig for simplicity, but it did not perform very well. It was built by Bob Delong from RD Boat Works in Dana Point.

After a lot of debate we decided to make the second prototype with a bi plane rig. Avocet II was a very nice boat. Dan and I built parts of it.
Avocet III was a refined version of Avocet II.
