The Hardtop Cruiser on the front page looks like the one I captured in the above photo.
That’s a great historical background read on Grenfell, and the McQueen/Grenfell collaboration.
When looking at the Bel Air, Vandal, and Lazee Gal yachts, I see lots of McQueen design influence. The only thing that jumps out at me in retrospect with Grenfell’s influence on the above Yachts is the hull window frame treatment.
But then again, I’m not a designer so I’m probably missing a lot of detail. |
