It is with great sadness that I must report Naval Architect Tom Fexas passed away yesterday. Over the past 30 years, Tom’s designs became some of the most recognizable production and custom yachts in the world, including a vast number of Cheoy Lee’s, his unmistakable Midnight Lace line and of course some very notable Palmer Johnson’s, such as La Baronessa and Time.
Some 1000 vessels came to life from his drawing board. Among those names were some of the most prominent builders in the yachting industry like Burger, Derecktor, Royal Denship, Mikelson, and Knight and Carver.
Our heartfelt prayers are extended to his family and co-workers. For those of you unfamiliar with the legacy this man created, visit his site…
