We have mentioned Rubin, the Admiral's Cup racing yacht in a previous posting. She was part of the 1973 German team. Two identical sisters were built to this design by Bermester of Germany. Rubin was the first and launched in 1973 followed by Jan Potte the following year.

Here are some interesting construction images showing the cold molded hull, turning of the hull, the aluminum ring frames and leaf spring floors and the deck under construction. We are not sure if these images are of Rubin or of Jan Potte.


Here is the brochure showing the sail plan and the general arrangement. The drafting is beautiful.

This aluminum motoryacht was designed for the Netherlands-American Yacht Company of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, now defunct. She was built by Stephens Marine of Stockton, California and launched in 1974.

Power is derived from twin Cummings VT12-800-M diesels generating 750hp each for a top speed of 22 knots.

Here are the plans.

We've already posted an article about the Yankee 38, design #2094-C2 which is based on this design. Here's the rest of the story. In 1971 in the heat of one-tonner popularity, we developed a new one-tonner design simply on speculation. This speculative design, #2094 was sold as a one-off, Lightnin' (and giving it the 2094-C1 design designation). She was built by Minneford Yacht Yard of City Island, New York and launched in 1971.

Here are the plans.

Just when we think we have identified all S&S built by Carlini of Italy, we find these two addition builds. The two boats were built in 1960. They are simple boats designed to rate under the R.O.R.C. Rule. Construction is of conventional scantlings: white oak backbone, steam bent white oak frames and single planked in mahogany with Everdur fasteners.

Please find below an updated list of Carlini built boats. We have added these two projects and we now find a total of 20 boats built by Carlini between 1956-1984. Many have been posted on this blog site. You can simply do a search in the field provided at top by either design number or boat name. Looking at the list I would hazard a guess that the boat built for Dr. Combe may have been named Kiwi, based on his second Carlini boat built two years later.

Here's the list. Please double click for zoom.
