This boat was in the museum from 1986 - 2006. It was then donated to IYRS for restoration. A donation from Eleni and Gerard LoPorto allowed the museum to buy her back and put her in their sail training fleet. The LoPorto's specified that she is "to remain as part of the museum's permanent collection and to serve in the sailing program".
