Notas históricas
Kyle Stubbs (Email to Nauticapedia 29/11/2022) stated "a troller named AINI-K (266205). While her appearance seemed odd, and somewhat yacht-like, it was her build information that really caught my attention, a 1943 Higgins-built 36' LCPL, the C3583. That explained the shape of the stern, but the rest of the hull and the 42.1' measured length likely comes from one of the post-war conversion kits marketed by wooden boat builders like Chris Craft."
