The List.

2026. With recent downloads, I realize that I have not updated The List for a very long time. I'll be working on it.

- Have plenty of paper in your tray.

- My old Website bit the dust when the server company got sold. The migration of the content to the new site was very unsatisfactory, prompting the development of a new one. This takes time and will not be in full running mode for a while. But do not despair, it will be done. So, in a measure of continuity and to lessen the disruption, I am opening this Blog with a list covering most of the Design work that has been done over so many years.

- New Website@:

https://www.tantonyachtdesign.com

Work in progress, as they say.

- Yes, the List is a little hard to figure out because of the chronological order of the Plans without differentiation if you are looking for something specific. Like, for example, Powerboats or Sailboats between 40 and 50 feet, etc. This will come when due. Meantime, here it is and where we are.

Brokerage.

The following has not been updated.

- Perusing through the site Yachtworld.com, there are a few Tantons' boats for sale or with pending sales. I wanted to show them to you. Except for the T45 and the Pen-Gwyn below, the boats mentioned on http://www.yachtworld.com, under the Search keyword name: Tanton, are not included in my Central Listing. Therefore, if you are interested, you should contact the Listing Broker for the individual boat. If the boats are not in my Central, I charge a fee of $500.00 to assist Brokers, Buyers to have information related to the boat or any other boats in the World, if you wish. Including available original drawings if available.

- She does not look, but she is a project boat. The main issue is a very wet deck. Now, other minor problems are also apparent. So, she is available for a hard-working and knowledgeable worker with time and money to buy her "as is, where is". The boat is docked at the owner's house and can remain there for a while, and for free. Sounds good? Drop me a note, and I can send you all the pictures and specifications.  I have to emphasize that the vessel needs work.

- Update: The boat is off the market. The owner has decided on a total refit.

- A little side story: The Brokerage was established in 1975, one year after the Yacht Design Business.

- It started strong with my two favorite Brokers. Over a short period, they sold many boats.

Unfortunately, the "cheptel" of boats to sell was slim at the time.

- Remember, it was long ago, and I encouraged the two of them to look at stronger, busier Yacht Brokerage Businesses. One went to Sparkman and Stephens, the other to Bartram and Brakenhoff. 

- To let them go for what I thought was the best for them, and it is one of the worst business decisions I made in my life. Oh well! What I did not quite realize was the fact that they were from very wealthy families, and basically did not have to do anything except have fun selling boats in Newport, R.I

- So, on my own, I have been operating this sideline ever since. Mainly about my own designed boats, and occasionally other types.

It is hard to associate empty shelves at Gustavia, Saint Barthelemy with the Bucket series of races for some of the largest, most expensive sailing yachts in the world. But no worries, the above caption was due to bad weather preventing the dairy boat to come in with supplies; the rest is all caviar and Burger in Paradise.

The starting point for racing, lots of it. We are far from when Edmond de Rothschild on Gitana during the 1971 Fastnet race insisted on a formal dinner down below, with wine, of course. Dick Carter was not pleased about it. The boat did fine, I think the fastest elapsed time from the Fastnet to the finish.

Ragtime Hull Design with Blender.

I am not familiar with the Blender program, but I found it by chance on YouTube. I am not ready to learn about another way to design a boat via another electronic pencil, at least not yet. My interest lies in the subject chosen; a couple of my drawings that Paolo Furani is using with Blender. I do not know Paolo Furani from Italy, but I appreciate the fact that he took it upon himself to develop my projects with Blender. Thank you.
