From Peterson Design Facebook 2018, "Next up, Design #39, was the wider-sterned Star Eyed Stella. Is this the design the Lowell North sailed to win the North American IOR QT championship in 1974 -- El Principia? Composite Technologies / Island Yachts in Texas was going to go into production building them, but then the rule changed?"
