The owner of Orcella, (designed by Frans Maas and basically a very luxurious ocean racer) also owned a PJ37, called Elixir. She was a Swan 37 hull, with a Palmer Johnson cabin top. I remember towing her up to Victoria one very blustery weekend in 1975. I think it was for the Swiftsure race, it took two days out and back. He used to campaign Elixir in the One Ton class, and had some decent results in the S.O.R.C.
