no such thing as a "moppie" - "moppie" was richard bertram's wife - he called her that,she had wild red hair...
"moppie" is the name bertram used on their hulls,when launched - kinda like how rybovich used "charmer"

This is CSC not CB.
My best friend and neighbor was Ray C. {Racy} Hunt as a young child in Padanaram, Ma. I know a little history
They built a 30 ft. wooden prototype named Moppie, and the rest is history. It became the 31.
Many call the open boats Moppies.

that designed boat - it won the miami/nassau race - it became the "plug" for the 31 -"moppie" was the name of that boat,named after dick's wife
"many call the open boats "moppie" - and that my friend would be incorrect - no such model
i know a litle "history too

My boat is named Wide OPen. I don`t believe SC ever made a Wide OPen model, but many models have spent time there.
Don`t get your Bahia Mars in a ruffle.
