Presto

Presto, a moth scow built by Gale Halsey's Father Norman Halsey that Nancy sailed in the Nationals.

My Dad, Jimmy Allen bought her from Norman Halsey in 1974 and sailed her on Lake Hartwell, GA. Dave Ellis bought her a year later. I bought a fiber Cates from Norman later that year. Dave sailed her for several years and then stored her at his Father's (Uncle Bruce Ellis) until 1998. Uncle Bruce gave her to me (Greg Allen). Some day I will put a sail on her and get her back in the water where she belongs.
