Owned in David Emery Baxter in Newport Beach, Ca. He took her to Morro, Ca. around the late 70's. Her name was 'Rapier' at that time although 'RITA IV' was ingaved in her tiller. When I sold her I felt she should not race any more. She is King Christian X's 10 Metre. In 2009 she was undergoing a restoration. |
