Originally the hull had been painted with the O.T. design #4 which is white hull with a series of red and blue diamonds painted under the rail and around the stems. A very colorful design! The canoe was set up for sailing and used on the front cover of the 1960 O.T. catalog. Around 1961 the canoe was repainted red on one side and yellow on the other. It once again appeared in the 1966 catalog with Benson's sister and cousin sailing the canoe with the yellow side facing the camera. Benson informs me that he was much too young at that time to be in the photo, as his today's youthful appearance is a testimonial to that fact!
