Header Photo: Classic International 14





The previous header photo was of a classic International 14, circa late 1960's. (One clue is the crew isn't using a trapeze which didn't get voted in until 1969.)  This is a Canadian 14 as it has the Canadian registration numbers on the bow. Design? I'm guessing Proctor V or VII given the bow rocker profile. (Yes, you could say I'm somewhat of a International 14 history geek, though, to be honest, I grew up with these boats.)

More classic International 14 material can be found on my companion blog.

Sure looks like the Walsh brothers to me.

Tom,

Possibly, but I figure the Walsh brothers are around our age, which would put them late high school teens when this photo was taken. These gents look older. I do have Tim Walsh's email. Maybe I'll touch base with him.
