Picture and comment from Peterson Facebook 2019,
"Leading the fleet (US8866) during the Half Ton North
Americans in 1977, with eventual Champion "Petrified" (Chuck Burns
HT) on her stern.
Originally considering a keelboat, Chris Corlett sailed in the 1977 SDYC Ton
Cup and saw Dave Ullman's fractional, daggerboarder Peterson Quarter Tonner
Blitz, Design #39. He immediately knew he needed a HT version of that boat.
Robbed of the HT North American Championship by a questionable protest in 1977"
1978 US
HALF TON CUP, Annapolis: 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 3 = 1er/??,
??
"Oooh Noo!! came back and won the 1978 North Americans
with a score of 1-1-1-1-3. She was probably the fastest IOR Half Tonner ever
in the USA, before the boats were slowed by changes to the daggerboard loophole
and light displacement penalties"
Sold boat, didn’t go to Worlds, where she would have been a favorite.
StFYC Stone Cup: 1er/? Division

Picture and comment from Peterson Facebook 2019, "Last
week we looked for SCORPION, and found she had been sold recently. So next up
for the Half Ton resurrection project would be to find this one. Last seen more
than 10 years ago on ebay in Wisconsin (?) with a bid for $1500. This photo
is from that listing."
