Spaulding 33′s builder and restorer meet to relaunch Auroral on Saturday

Ivan Davies, Jonah Ward, Jane Davies

Ivan Davies built Auroral in the 1950′s in an old stable in San Francisco. Two other Spaulding 33′s were being built in that stable at the same time, including our Pegasus, built by Michael Schnapp.

Jonah Ward, a staff member of the Spaulding Boatworks, completed the restoration of Auroral. An enthusiastic crowd of over 200 were on hand this past Saturday to celebrate her relaunch.

Ivan told us that Auroral’s original color was white but, given time, he’d get used to her new, bright red hull.
