Notes:

The same, or nearly so, as the STARRATT & JENKS 45, STARRATT 45. Same hull also as the MORGAN 45-1. It is thought that the molds were sold to Starrat & Jenks who built them both with the original aft cockpit arrangement and later, a modified, center cockpit model. Many were sold as bare hulls or kits for owner completion.
