The boat in the foreground - "22/29" - was built by Southwest Boat Corporation as an Army mine or two yawl. It was rejected by the government and acquired by the Northeast Harbor Fleet for use as a Committee Boat. Arnold Lunt is the man in the white shirt, standing, watching an A-Boat race. - Ralph Stanley 11/21/11.
