Comments from Johnny O’Donnell crew member of Vinst2:

    In 1964 through 1967, Kona, Vinst2 and Brita US-10 were all stored together for the winter. We told sea stories while working on the boats, on the weekend.
    I have fond memories of when I was 16 and Ralph loaned me Kona for the Red Horse Regatta in 1970. We placed first.
