Paul Stubing said this is a committee boat in the 1930s.
The committee boat is monitoring an A boat race. There are several people on board watching the sailboats. A35 is closest to the committee boat. Number 40 is close behind. A2 is off A35's port bow. The numbers 22 and 19 are posted on the committee boat.
