| Mrs. Walmsley | ? - 1968 |
Jalien believes Rocket is hull 1488, though that is not what the builder’s plate says. She got the boat in 1968 from a Mrs. Walmsley. The plate on the boat says 1473, which belongs to a yacht tender. We suspect that an owner may have switched the plates during maintenance by mistake.
