Pursuant to my previous posting here's a recent running shot sent to us by the owner of Phoenix.

Okay by now you are all saying "enough already about this boat!" She's done and being shipped in a week. Checks and title changed hands today. It was so calm on the water we could have gone water skiing (if the water temp wasn't 48 that is).


We managed to convince the owner of 2 things: we will be showing her in Greenwich, Connecticut at a small boat show that is held in September (more info to follow) and that I can borrow her from time to time. That's the good news.


For more information about this design simply do a search for 25' center console (upper left search field).

About a year ago we posted an article about the 6-meter yacht Gosling, design #2070. We received the following note from her owner along with the image shown above.

Dear Sparkman & Stephens,

With great delight I found your article about design 2070 "Gosling" on your blog. I currently own the boat and, indeed, she is still on Lake Constance. Maybe you're interested what she currently looks like, I enclose a picture. The little cabin has been added in the mid eighties together with a small engine to make her more "family suited" which worked well for the past twenty years. Still a real beauty!

Congratulations to your blog, it's very very interesting!

Yours sincerely,
Owner of Gosling

Thanks for reading and thank you for sending us the image.

A blog reader asked us to post the Construction Plan for the Tartan 27. He was commenting on our blog about this boat dated October, 21, 2010. Click here to see that posting. The drawing shown above is a pretty big file. You should be able to zoom in quite a ways.

We received some nice interior images of hull #6 of the Passagemaker 60 series. Have a look.
