Notes:
VDS design #38.
One of the earliest fiberglass yachts of this size. The first reportedly was for the builder, Fred Tyler.
Early models had a wood deck and coach roof, as shown here.
Later versions were all fiberglass.
Aft cabin/center cockpit and keel/cb versions were produced.
Some were finished at Anstey Yachts in the UK and used in the charter trade.
