Although her hull shape and rig are con-ventional for the 1930s era, this cruising yawl is unusual in how her Dutch builders constructed her hull. She was set up and planked around wide-spaced steel frames, afterwards having two steam-bent oak frames installed between them. Despite her foreign birth, the drawings from which she was built came from a New York-based designer and, upon completion, the boat spent her early years in Manhasset Bay, New York. Vivian Burnett used her often with friends and family, but sadly, in 1937, after rescuing the crew from another capsized boat, Burnett suffered a heart attack and died onboard.
