In removing all the hardware from Spark’s deck in preparation of a complete tear off and replacement, I found these interesting holes under the horse. Being built in 1964, I was under the impression that the wooden horse that my GP had was original. It certainly does not look out of sorts from the age of the boat or from other’s of her vintage. Once I remove the horse though, I found these two holes, roughly half inch in diametre, beneath it. They do appear to be properly spaced for the bronze horse the early boats had. Could 5942 have originally been built with the older style horse?
