In 1886 the New York Canoe Club established its International Challenge Cup and successfully defended it seven times until loosing it to England's renown Uffa Fox in 1933. Attempts in 1936 and 1948 to recapture it were unsuccessful, but in 1952 Lou Whitman brought the cup home with Manana. Some eight boats were subsequently built to the Manana design and this one, #66 sailed by Adolf Morse, was one of the team of successful 1955 defenders. The boat, including original plans, is available FREE for restoration or static display to an organization (preferably in the NY metro area) for whom it would have historical or social significance. Baring that, we would let her go to an individual for a reasonable contribution to Carmans River Maritime Center.
