Model identification:
"Reference to #1506s Silver Heels II was added by CvdL because according to Jones, Gregory O. Herreshoff Sailboats. St. Paul, Minn., 2004, p. 138 #1506s was a Fishers Island 23 and because #1506s dimensions as given in the Lloyds 1955 list exactly matched those of the Fishers Island 23."
