John Fries' "REMEDY" took first place in PHRF 5 at Key West in 2005 (& Evelyn 32-2 "Bloody Hell" was 2nd!). Here's a little bit about "Remedy" ....read on
Chuck Coyer used to own "ACCOMPLICE" (now "Dire Wolf"). Chuck chimes in occassionally with tips on the boat on racing forums. Here are a couple gleaned from a Sailing Anarchy thread.

SOME OTHER BOB EVELYN DESIGNS : LISTEN, I dont have a clue as to who owns the copyrights on these photos...the shots are posted for the sole purpose of highlighting Bob Evelyn's designs and no one, to our knowledge, is profitting from the use of these photos (nbayracing.com certainly is not). So if you own the copyrights to any of these shots, please cut me some slack for unauthorized useage and contact me if you'd like credit or removal of the images.
All of the comments and most of the photos below, come from a long-time ELIS native who has sailed many times with Bob Evelyn and knows a bunch about Bob's designs:

"Here
is a rare shot of an Evelyn 36 one tonner thanks to the Mystic River Mudheads
history page.
I knew most of these clean-cut fine young gentlemen who were the early 'Mudheads.'"

"The 24 was the first Evelyn design.
This boat came out 1 year before the J24.
The first one was called Pointin which I guess is pronounced "pawsheen"
which they say is Gaelic (sp?) for "home brew". It was also known
as the "Pointin 24" or Able Pointin 24. Able Marine built the production
version.
There were many custom versions of this boat.
Bob took a 3rd or 4th in the quarter ton worlds in Texas in one that I got to sail on with him. It was flush deck and had had a foot cut off the beam (with a chain saw no less!).
The next boat Bob did was the Pointin 29. I doubt
you will ever find a picture of this but it looked like the
bigger version of the 24.
You have a picture of the 32 half toner and there was a similar looking 36 one toner. I think this is when Bob started Formula Yachts to build these boats.
Then there were boats like "Evelution"
an IOR 41 footer that eventually found its way to the Coast Guard academy. Bob
designed and built the Evelyn 26 late 70s early 80s as a MORC beater. It was
around the same time as the very very similar looking S2 came out."
