This is an undated (but it was
taken sometime between 1939 and 1954) photo of J. Vincent in teh rigging
of his boat POLA. Note that the entire mast is painted. We are told by Mr.
Vincent that the paint was obtained the same way he obtained materials to
build the "shack" in which he built POLA between 1937
and 1939... he scrounged it. The color is SantaFe yellow.
