I doubt it. If you weren't a sock puppet, you might have had a cold
molded or possibly even a hot molded wooden FD, but they would have been
rather expensive European racing machines. Flying Dutchmen are not built
from plywood, they are not hard chine boats.

Not a Flying Dutchman. They are all either self-bailing or have Elvstrom
bailers, at least.
