Here is a fine example of a Richardson "Perfect 31" or "31 Special" cruiser. The present owner, RBOA member No. 619, found her in disrepair and saved her from being cut up. Don, with the assistance of his son-in-law spent three years restoring this fine boat. In 2007 she won the "People's Choice Award" at the Richardson Boat owners Association International Rendezvous in Baldwinsville, NY. She is powered by an economical Yanmar four cylinder diesel engine. Her home port is Jamestown, RI.
