William Bernard's "Yellow Kid" at the Northwest Ice Yacht Association Regatta in Menominee, Michigan.
"Yellow Kid", a B Class
Stern Steerer built by William Bernard in Madison, Wisconsin. She was named
after the first successful comic strip character to achieve
great popularity.
Written on the back of the card...."'Yellow Kid'
Madison, Wisconsin. She came in third in Class B each of the 2 days. She's built
like the 'Princess'. She looks as though she might be a pretty good light wind
boat. She beat out Prescott and Jennings though in heavy winds. They came in 3rd
and 4th Thursday and Friday. The 'Red Bird' was the only B boat that finished on
Saturday, as the snow was too hard and deep."

'Yellow Kid'
Written on the back of the
card....."These boat's it's at the center of the backbone and these boats
can go some in light wind. Then the ...2x6 connected from the end of the plank
to the backbone and a 2x6 from the cockpit to the plank on each side although
you can't see them. Bob and I were out skiing yesterday with a couple of girls,
had a great time. Finn."
