Extention 24, 1972 - 1975

--old Kodac rolfilm photo --

 

In Herkingen (Zeeland) we met with our Solution the little brother of our boat in 1988.

I did n't wrote the name of the ship in our photo album, so I hope somebody can tell me wich one of the Extentions the racer is.

Perhaps can somebody tell more about the Extention and Solution yacht ?
