Won a lot of races with her." "For a few years, a friend owned Animal Farm while I owned Hawkeye. We kept both boats in Newport Beach. We had some epic races against each other! Those two boats were amazingly quick upwind and held their own downwind. Shy kites were needed if the breeze was up, which is rare in SoCal. Tom Wylie had some great boats then";
