WOW!
Jack Hargrave - one of the best yacht designers of all time; the Herreschoff (sp?) of motor yachts!
And Dennison... I live next to the old Broward yard where Dennison built his boats when he created Broward (from what I hear;though my history may be skewed)
Is it just me, or are the new Hargrave designs enough to make Mr. Hargrave himself turn in his grave.
If you get a chance check out he Oct. '03 BoatUSA Intl. article on the Alexis refit. I worked on that boat when it was named Columbine. She is a Hargrave design, built by the Stevens yard on the west coast. And she has some of the prettiest lines of any yacht I've seen.
Side-note : as a kid I drew ferrari's. I once met Luigi Chianetti, one of the ferrari designers (and the largest collector in the U.S.) he gave me a picture he had drawn, and signed it. I think it's in my folks attic somewhere. Anyway, I still don't own a ferrari, but maybe some day. As for the car he had drawn - unfortunately it never got produced.
