A modern version of the well-known Snowbird, chosen by the Olympic Committee as the Olympic Monotype and originally designed by Edson I. Schock's father. This redesign uses plywood planking and a more modern rig, so it should be lighter and a little faster: a fine racing class for any club and an excellent boat to learn sailing in.
