When I said the design dated back to the pre asymmetric days I meant there were only a couple built pre '89. I think that was the significance of the B. I wouldn't be surprised if the earlier ones were converted. Ian Walker won the 1993 worlds in one, I remember that much.
Right, I've had a look in the back of the Evans book, which unfortunately only goes up to 1988-89ish. The earliest Howlett I can see was 1163 in 1985. The earliest 1B I can see was 1261 in 1989.

Howlett 1B's were pretty much the top of the tree in the Penultimate days. I believe the design dates back to the pre assymetric days (not by much though)

I think the dinghy show is going to be complete war between 12 foot boats and 14 foot boats, running about with their war paint on, the twelve foots skiffs charging with their x meter long pole
