    Trying to locate a early to mid 60's constellation originally named Triton V.
    She was out of Englewood Yacht Club in Jersey as well as Coral Gables Fla.
    Length I believe was 57 feet. Any information would be appreciated Thanks

    I find "Triton IV" in Lloyds from 1968. She was a 1959 Chris Craft 55' O/N 279449 owned by Sam Stein, home port Englewood, NJ.
    She was last documented in 2005 as "Twin Dolphins" by an owner in Coronado California with hailing port of Anchorage Alaska.

    The latest Lloyds I have available is from 1970 and there is no listing for a "Triton V", but in 1970 "Triton IV" is no longer listed.

    To: SeaEric-Thanks for the info on Triton IV. I will be in Coranado soon so will see if she is still around. The picture I have of Triton IV shows a boat looking more than 3 feet shorter than the TritonV. Did CC make a 60 foot constellation and are there any identifying features I would notice in a picture that would indicate the length of the boat? Thanks

    If you have photos of the subject yachts, please post them here if you can. (Note max 640 wide for photos) With a photo, identification would be much easier. If you'd prefer to e-mail them to me, please send me a PM.

    Here is the photo of "Triton V" To me she sure looks like a 57' Chris Connie, perhaps 1966 or 1967 vintage.
