The boat, what can be seen of it, is a rather faithful depiction of an old Tartan 27 (Hull No. 64) that I owned at the time this was drawn.

Update: the boat disappeared during Hurricane Katrina, although it was high and dry on a Bay St. Louis boatyard, undergoing minor repairs. It hasn't been seen since. It belonged to a friend by that time.
