Comment:
"NGH made a total of four models for his last desgin, a deep-sea centerboard schooner for world-wide cruising or scientific research. Three of them were labeled with roman numerals I, III, and IV. Apparently this model was not assigned a roman numeral, but we may assume it to be II." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. May 16, 2017.)
