Tanton Yacht Design is 51 years old!

 

Very hard to believe. 

- From being 27 years old to now, and to the future.

- Making, in my field, one of the oldest design firms in America. Sparkman and Stephens are the "doyen".

- Yes, I work mostly by myself, but at times I had excellent helpers to contribute to my wayward ways of going about things. 

= Steve Baker of Jamestown and Jeremy McGeary come to mind. Very good indeed on the Design side.

I am not mentioning people involved with my Boat Building and Brokerage Ventures. Let's say that I also got involved with three start-ups, as well as other entities related to boats, materials, and construction.

Comanche 100.

- Comanche, designed by Guillaume Verdier, and winner of the John H. Illingworth Trophy, for being the first across the finish line at Hobar...
