Special Editions
Plant five highly creative design types in a waterfront office in Camden Maine. Mix in the occasional client whose eyes were bigger than his wallet, the long Maine winters, and a stimulating environment full of the latest design tools, and what inevitably happens? Each of these exciting proposals is available for someone- perhaps you- to carry forward to completion.

Meridian 68
This attractive concept was one of several proposed for a customer who eventually moved away from the flush deck to a design with a long, low cabin. The addition of the relatively easily maintained varnished teak elements shown will make our "Meridian 68" one of the most lovely sailing yachts ever built.
Magellan 74
Pretty outrageous to design something more for the fun of getting there than as a waterfront home. But the fellow who takes this one on will already have one of those, and will revel at the feeling of controlled power and the fact that it is to him and his yacht that all heads will turn as he blasts past at forty miles per hour.
Meridian 110
An all-carbon, variable-draft, excitingly beautiful sailing yacht just brimming with new ideas that have never been combined on a single design before. Price? If you have to ask, you can’t afford it. But someone can.
Magellan 110
The Paine office stands for a conservative style whose design attributes will still be loved thirty years hence. Beautifully engineered in aluminum, solidly equipped with the latest equipment, yet unlike anything offered off the shelf.
Magellan 160
Mark Fitzgerald’s vision of a uniquely American design style at 160 feet in length. Just study that sheerline and try to find anything like it in Europe. You won’t!
Expannie
Chuck Paine’s long-dreamed-about retirement cruiser. Chuck outlived his money. So this one is yours if you appreciate the joys of cruising the world in a brand new (read that as very costly to build), extremely seaworthy and absolutely lovely sloop. The concept works at 36, 38 or 40 feet.
French & Webb 75
The French & Webb 75 is a traditionally styled, high performance cold-molded wood sailing yacht. Although intended primarily to enable her owners to cruise the classic worldwide sailing venues in style and luxury, she will offer sufficiently high performance to race in the increasingly popular “Spirit of Tradition” series.
