Frolic was a factory "one off" meaning that she was custom made for the customer which is why she is so different than most HA 18's. She does not have the original America ( with the flag stitched on) Main sail. Instead of a retractable keel that was much more common for the America, she has a shoal draft keel which is better for stability. Additionally a bowsprit and jib were added. Have a title from previous owner that went through the wash nut is legible.
