Infinity was in some ways a standard design approach for Holland, with a reasonably high freeboard, masthead rig, medium displacement and a flush deck, which was not dissimilar to many of her competitors during that era. She featured a straighter transom than his previous designs which arguably gave the yacht a more elegant appearance than some of Holland's earlier boats that had a pronounced curve in the transom profile. Infinity sailed in the 1983 SORC with a rating of 36.2ft IOR, and this was reduced slightly for the 1984 series to 36.1ft.

Looks time they arch headmast pretty as much as fractioned rigs !
ReplyDeleteThe Truman Annex picture was taken in January or February of 1982, not 1981. Also, the Lauderdale to KW race wasn't part of the SORC. It was more of a feeder/practice race. The boats in the picture are Aries, Infinity, Locura, and Rolling Time.
