Boat Name: Scallywag, ex. Perspicacious
Sail: USA 114, ex. GBR 97
Year Built: 1979
Designer: Gary Mull
Builder: Carl Eichenlaub
Owner: Adam Henley
History: In preparation for the 1979 World Championships in Seattle Gayle Post asked Gary Mull to design Perspicacious. She was built in San Diego by Carl Eichenlaub in cold molded mahogany plywood with the outer most strips laid in carvel fashion. She was originally finished in brilliant clear varnish. The boat received her certificate mere days before the Worlds regatta started in September. Perspicacious was in good company with the other 1978/1979 Gary Mull design sisters, including USA 108 St Francis VII and USA 112 Ranger. Gayle and the boat steadily improved over the week of racing and ended 10th of 25. Mr. Post and team also competed at the 1982 Europeans, 1983 World Championships at Newport Beach, California, his homeport, and the 1984 Europeans in Sandhamn, Sweden. Gayle then shipped the boat to Europe for the 1985 Worlds at Cannes, France, but did not sail and ended up selling her following the regatta. She eventually made her way to the UK with the name 'Scallywag', and regrettably fell on hard times. In 2015 she was rescued from certain death at Cowes, Isle of Wight for the St Francis Yacht Club 6mR team and received the full treatment at Demon Yachts to get her back to full speed and beauty in time for her fantastic 6th place of 25 Modern entries at the 2017 World Championships in Vancouver, B.C. to win the Nelson trophy for highest placing transitional Modern. As can be seen by the series of photos further below, Scallywag has come from near destruction to be competitive at the highest level.
