Clyde sailed Country Boy to and from Hawaii twice from Auckland. Country Boy is still sailing from Hawaii which is great news .  from Clyde Colson."

From Facebook 2023 "The first (1978) Pan Am Clipper Cup in Hawaii with the Doug Peterson designed, Magic Pudding (B195/ Pioneer Sound) near South Point (Big Island) during the Around the State Race. The story goes that a crew member decided to save weight by leaving all the foul weather gear ashore, fortunately it was 80 degrees with warm water the whole 775 miles of the race."

Deception KA, Peterson Sister ship de B195

Interesting comparison of the 1977 Peterson and Farr One Tonners, presented by the late Jack Knights.
B195, aka PIONEER SOUND, aka MAGIC PUDDING is the Peterson boat, Design #47, 4th 1977 One Ton Cup.
The Farr boat represents THE RED LION, MR.JUMPA, SMIRNOFFAGAN, JENNY H, and HECATE, Farr Design #64 and her variations, 1st, 2nd, 3rd in the 1977 One Ton Cup.
The Farr boats were well worked up for the event, while B195 was still building the boat and re-cutting sails right up to the start of the regatta.
The Farr boats, being longer and stiffer, were faster upwind and reaching in the big breeze of the regatta. B195 was faster downwind, and would be the better boat in less breeze.
