Notes

Original John Hacker design, 151 class Pelican racer from the mid-1920's. This is an early step hull hydroplane design that was built for the 151-class, popular throughout the 1920's and 1930's. Originally campaigned as B-91 and bearing the name "Spitfire V", this is a rare example to find in such preserved condition.
