Apr 29, 2008 · Re: Hermann Goering's Motor Yacht "Carin II" Lying in the Red Sea I agree with ACB until further documentation proves otherwise. And frankly, I'd find her more attractive without the bizarre connection and history. A boat of this scope will surely have been owned by "somebody." Better a somebody I approve of!

May 28, 2012 · Re: 63' 1935 Shane Trimmership Motor Yacht "Zimmie" Zimmie was the original name of this boat, built in Seattle, WA in 1935 by the Shain Manufacturing Company, Morris Shain, owner and designer (without help from Ed Monk).

Nov 18, 2019 · The design brief for this craft was for the smallest practical motor yacht that has real cruising comfort in a displacement hull. Twenty-four feet was selected for the length, as it is still possible for regular folks to moor a 24 ft. boat in the Seattle area.

Mar 3, 2019 · My copy of Skene's Elements of Yacht Design says to use 1/4 to 3/8 inch of camber per foot of beam, and it gives the geometric layout. So I did a 4' template with 1 1/16" camber (the light colored wood) and another 8' template with 2 3/16" camber (my bad measurement, but close, on the meranti)) however the two templates don't come anywhere near ...

Jun 24, 2016 · Ted Geary designed a Pirate pond yacht on Pirate's lines. The plans were published in the LA Times and it was a school program, building them and competing with them. The build is pretty straightforward: the hull is built with 3/4 clear pattern pine stock, on waterline lifts ("bread and butter").

Mar 11, 2006 · We are searching for info on the Classic 36' gaff-rigged yacht Ituna. Built in 1912 she has sailed across the atlantic twice - once in 1950 with four young Irishmen including the celebrated architect and set designer Stewart Kenny and again in 1980 via Capetown South Africa.
