    Good enough! The correct name is Storebro SGS1 for Storebro Grand Series Nr1. Designed by German Frers whos son, German "Mani" Frers Jr was the principal designer for the Victory Challenge America's Cup team.

    Nilo, your story is correct and just four boats were built. But some years before this, Storebro built an even bigger boat, the Storebro Royal Cruiser 73. This was designed by John H.V. Lindblom, really good looking and more timeless. Unfortunately she was launched in a recession when the japanese buyer got bancrupt and she was very expensive, so only one was built.

    storebro 73

    I think the hull was build in Denmark at the time and if I am not mistaken this was the start of Royal Danship. I have heard that after this effort the Royal Danship idea blossomed.

    That's cheating Ken, (inside info) I really wasn't looking for the name of the Westport, as there are so many of them out there!
    But I will join you for dinner when Castlerock buys!!

    Nat, I think you missed the point on this one- I win.
    I won't hold you to it though- I deduced it because I know which boat the photographer runs :D

    Sorry Guys- I don't have my computer with the photo files. I'm in Fairhaven, so I guess I could take some pictures of fishing boats :rolleyes:

    This is a Feadship built for one of the retiring family members (probably late 90s). If I recall, it has a mooring spud (much like a work barge) for shallow water "mooring"
