"Winner of the 1959 Apple Cup Race, Miss Pay'n Save is powered by a Rolls Merlin engine and measures 30 feet in length, and has a 12-foot beam. The mahogany, light and dark blue boat has Hallet or 'drop' type sponsons and was designed and built by Les Staudacher in 1958 for Hydroplanes, Inc., of Seattle. She is sponsored by Seattle's Pay'n Save Drug Store chain and flies the burgee of the Seattle Yacht Club." (Reprinted from This is Hydroplaning by Paul Lowney [1959]) |
