Mike,
Strike that first response > OBTW the answer to your original
question/subject line is: 1971
It should probably be 1987 for the "new" hull design.
Here's a partial list of the changes I am aware of:
(some dates may be off - corrections and additions appreciated)
60's Wood hull to Fiberglass.
60's Wood Mast and spars to Aluminum.
1967 Sail shape changed to a fuller cut.
?? Tapered mast to straight.
?? Fore mainsheet block moved forward.
?? Eye bolt on boom replaced by endcap with eye lip.
1971-72 Rounded rudder and brass hardware changed to
"new style" tapered rudder and stainless steel hardware.
70's Tapered (Shadow) Daggerboard replaces round end board.
1972 Storage compartment added.
1980 Barrington (squared) style daggerboard replaces tapered Shadow
board.
1987 Rolled gunwales and larger cockpit.
?? Racing Sail option introduced
?? Plastic rudder cheeks replace cast aluminum cheeks.
1993 Foam core, urethane coated daggerboard (22% larger).
1996 No-loop bridle.
