Excerpt from Harkens interview with Roy Disney
About the Pyewacket
Roy Disney: Well it’s the first time this Pyewacket {IV} has done this race. We’ve made some really enormous modifications, almost to the point where I kiddingly one day said, “Is it O.K. to still call it Pyewacket?” We’ve spliced on a new bow that’s eight feet longer and replaced the forward rudder with daggerboards and we’ve got a ten-foot-taller mast, and a new fin, new bulb, new rudder and a whole lot of changes in the interior as well. The boat is going to be a bunch faster than it was two years ago and we’re very excited about its potential for breaking the record.**
