Hawkeye USA 1973 design No2, Sistership of Animal Farm, 1979 May "Latitude 38", full article, Comment from Facebook 2022 Mike Schachter: "I owned her flush decked sister, Hawkeye, for several years. 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";
