Dave Whealon ordered a new I-20 in October of 2011, and it was delivered in the first week of May.  Here, his son Sam hams it up for the camera as Joe Ewing (Indian Lake, Ohio)  presents a celebratory bottle of Maker's Mark whiskey to Willie Crear.  This is hull #2, or more precisely, hull # WCT 20002 D212.  Way better than hull #1, chronicled below.  Sam debuted the boat, with a rookie crew, to a 6th place finish in the Spring Fling regatta at Cedar Lake, Indiana.

Recovering M-20 sailor Kevin Caulfield steers the first I-20/M-20 hull to come out of the Johnson Boat Works moulds in a decade.

Here we are leading the 4th race of the 2011 I-20 Nationals.  The mainsheet is cleated, hard (look at that main leech), and we are about to test the weathertightness of the deck.  Photo by Paul E. Dehn.

That's Aaron Lynn and Keith Rosenbaum, closing in on the left.  They gave the lead away to us early in the beat, and I gave it right back to them.  Photo by Paul E. Dehn.
