Just this past Saturday I posted an article about Galvana, design 2223. Actually Galvana was the third of the series. Heres an image of the first to be built to this design, Sun Bird V, coming out of the shed. Two boats were built for Japanese Admirals Cup teams by the Kato Boat Company of Yokosuka City, Japan and launched in 1974 and 75 respectively.

Heres the other sister, Miyakadori, design #2223-C1.
