Notes
Originally designed for the Manchester Yacht Club in Mass. USA and called the MANCHESTER 17. The first 17 boats were built by Rice Bros. in 1908. As it's popularity spread it aquired a number of the different names including the BAR HARBOR 17. A few of the original boats have been restored and can be seen sailing to this day.
