Larry, I think you may have the winning ticket with the Three Tree Point Yacht Club burgee! At first, I thought it may be a propeller...but the three trees certainly looks the part.
And Hydro Junkie, I agree it would be interesting to find out when they stopped using Yacht clubs as sponsors. Although I guess the DYC still has a presence. BTW, I was kidding about the SS pennant.
Harvey, This all started with a Zippkit Rocket that I planned to "scale up" to make a pointed bow '71 Miss Madison...or the earlier scheme with the yellow tail/black graphic rather than the mahogany/maroon tail with the white Indiana state form. I enlarged the Newton plans 10% and it mostly scaled fairly well width-wise and length aft of the sponsons. The forward part is a bit short though, but workable especially for Classic Thunder class. The initial scale items I wanted to focus on where to get the shape of the rear sponsons correct (as well as the nose), making a 1/7.35 scale Allison, and chopping/channeling the Zip cowl to be more scale.
Anyway, while looking around for Madison pictures I came across the Burien Lady and the Smoother Mover. I just really like the looks of these two paint schemes (with the exposed wodden decking) to the extent that I have been researching the possibilty of actually "planking" the deck! This may not happen on my current project, however after I finish my current 8255 project, I plan to start work on a gas scale stepped deck.
