Carter History. Seahorse. John Rousmaniere's article.


- Well! It is a young, fun time when, at 25 years of age, you design World-Class Racing and Cruising sailboats. Really, and for all of us in the Tower. It would be impossible to duplicate these days. Thank you to John and Seahorse for publishing this article. And thank you, Dick, for believing we could bring your visions to life.

PS: John Rousmaniere passed away this month of August 2026. Condolences.

Mentors.

- John H. Ilingworth, Francis Bouygues, Baron Bich.

- This post is prompted by an e-mail I received following the article by John Rousmaniere about Dick Carter in the August issue of Seahorse magazine. See the above Post.

- P. A wrote: " In my life, I have worked for three or four 'Rock Stars' and Dick Carter was the first. We were all in our twenties
(and Dick was only 42) When he hired us all and gave us the freedom to do great things.

- I wish everyone to have had Mentors like I have been privileged to be associated with. No less than three, who, by finding something in me, allowed me to find myself.
- Their paths crossed mine. Fond of boats, Yachting, and an enthusiast for sailing, their presence allowed someone very young to pursue a passion in many interesting ways.
- Yes, this is talking about myself, but thanks to the Social Media and search engines, one can find everything there is to find about the above personalities. All larger than life.
