"Sidney design, HMCo built. No hull number assigned." (Source: Curator Herreshoff Marine Museum, 2004.)

"Reference to #193401es Unbuilt Lake George Youngster Class was added by CvdL to the list of vessels built from this model because the Lake Geore Class was based on Velita for which this model had been made in the first place." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. February 23, 2011.)

Note: Vessels that appear in the records as not built, a cancelled contract, a study model, or as a model sailboat are listed but not counted in the list of vessels built from a model.
