Comment:
"Primarily raced on the Solent, England, only 19 or 20 15mR yachts were ever built, with only four of them surviving into the 21st century." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. June 23, 2009.)

Model identification:
"Newly identified model. Letters by George M. Pynchon and from R. W. Emmons dating from September and October 1911 in the collection of the Herreshoff Marine Museum (subject folder 11) suggest that NGH / HMCo had proposed a new big boat class along the European 15mR rule to members of the Eastern Yacht Club."
