Supplement

Research Note(s)

"There is no evidence that this frostbite dinghy was ever built." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. October 26, 2009.)

"#193402es Frostbite Dinghy and #1267s Frost Fish are built from different models. Overlaying of plans 28-79 for #193402es and plan 28-80 for Frost Fish shows the latter to have more vertical (plumb) bow and fuller lines forward." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. March 25, 2019.)

"This vessel's date was estimated from the original plan date. Plan 28-79 from which this boat was built was drawn 1934-07. The corresponding Model 1308 is dated July 1, 1934." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. October 26, 2009.)

Note: Research notes contain information about a vessel that is often random and unedited but has been deemed useful for future research.
