The America’s Cup skipper Dennis Connor commissioned Stars & Stripes, USA-34 sailing yacht. The Weathervane was to commemorate winning America's cup. Dennis had actually drawn the boat hull design by hand for us while in the studio. When the schematic drawing was sent, his drawing and their drawing did not match. They had sent us bogus drawings as the boat hull was top-secret. After a non-disclosure agreement was signed the actual hull drawings were sent.
