Y-Flyer 1661: Built by Herman Dias about 1964 on Long Island, NY. This boat was always one of the top contenders. As I remember, Wayne, the younger of his two sons, was leading the 1967 Junior Nationals, held at Long Island Yacht Club on Great South Bay, until a mechanical cost one race. To make a long story short - in 1971 the eldest son restored the hull, fitted a new 5 stay mast and went on to win the open handicapped division that year. The hull has since been retired, but for the most part everything else remains with about 4 to 5 season's total use. The following items are available:

- Sails - Murphy & Nye (Chicago Sail makers) - 5 seasons use - VG condition

- Mast - Gold Alum 5 stay, tapered top, fully rigged 5-6 races - Excellent condition

- Boom - Laminated wood, high profile with out haul winch, and 3 Tuphblox blocks - Good condition
