Lobster Yacht; de retour au bercail.

- What goes around, comes around.

- YES: She is for sale in Sandusky, OH, Asking price US$175,000. I f interested, please send an email to tantonyachts@gmail.com      ref:TYD#972.












                                                                               TYD#972.

- A good friend of mine purchased this "lobster yacht".
- A turn of an event, if I can say!


- I had just completed the design TYD#300 for him, and it was about to be built.  I found the boat, design #972, for sale on Yachtworld.

- Since I had been involved with the Design and Building, I sent the link to the client. The next thing I know, he ended up buying the boat! Shelving the new plans. Well, I got paid either way, and this is a good product.

- Sold a few years ago, the boat has a history that you can follow in the article below that I wrote during her conception.

- Good to have her back, she is a good one, and is being registered again in Newport, Rhode Island.

R.I.P Jeremy McGeary.




- "Mac", a good man, recently passed away. Too young to be dead at 71 years of age.

- Mac, as he preferred to be referred to, was an encyclopedia of knowledge in all directions, from discussing Fifth Elements to boats and everything in between.

- As a yacht Designer, Mac worked for Pedrick Yacht Design, Rodger Martin Design before returning to his native place in England to become chief designer at Camper & Nicholsons.
Returning to the US, Mac worked part-time for a couple of years at Tanton Yacht Design. Always subdued, simple, honest, and brilliant. Especially good at details, he helped me to complete all aspects of several notable yacht designs.

Another Season is Starting; checking on SightSailing.

Once in Newport, you owe to yourself to be on the water.
Many companies offer Charters; from 12 M, the Schooners Madeleine, Adirondack and being a little biased, the Sight Sailing of Newport with Aquidneck.

Hiatus.




-Well! I  took a breather and have neglected the Blog for what seems to be quite a while. No specific reasons, just a time out and maybe for reflections on many subjects and not necessarily having anything to do with my professional life which is Yacht Design and for which tantonyachtdesign. blogspot .com is all about after all.
