French & Webb 75

We are exceedingly blessed! The 75 footer illustrated will be the fourth and largest sailing yacht of our design to be built at French & Webb in Belfast, Maine. Best of all this is a nearly carte blanche project. The owner has given us free rein to design the yacht primarily for its beauty and speed through the water. It will be built of epoxy cold molded wood, and we have been enabled to call attention to its wooden construction wherever we wish- he’ll happily maintain the varnish. The yacht is intended to buy the owner into the lifestyle of oceanfront living throughout the world. His captain will deliver it from port to port- Caribbean during our winters, Meditterranean Spring and Fall, Northern Europe in the Summer. The owner’s family will meet the yacht in the classic sailing venues and live aboard in splendid luxury.  Hey- where did I go wrong?

York 45

York 45

The York 45 is a twin jet express cruiser being built for a Florida gentleman. He saw Michael York’s 42 footer RANGITIKI and liked it, but wanted something just a bit larger. This 45 footer will combine shoal draft with a smooth ride at her design speed of thirty knots. Further information may be found in the “new commissions” pages of this website.
