Two 4-foot miniature yachts, named Osolomeo and Running Free, should prove
to be strong and self-righting and cross the Atlantic Ocean from the East of
the United States to the shores of Europe, Starr said.

The hulls of the boats are made of foam core covered with waterproof
fiberglass. The hull weight is six pounds, the lead ballast is 10 pounds and
the boat's displacement 17 pounds.

The boats are 48 inches long, with a beam of 15 inches, a draft of 19 inches
and a waterline length of 42 inches.

The rigs are made of fiberglass and the sails of nylon Spinnaker. The height
of the rig above the deck is 32 inches and the sail area is 340 square
inches.
