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.
