| Sorry, forgot to leave the particulars. Most of my work has two pointy ends but are just a wee bit smaller. This is the work of one of the pros that is so helpful here. http://www.boatdesign.net/gallery/sh...er/909/cat/500 I have an order in for one of these; I only need to win the Powerball lottery.

| Re Garys Post As far as powercruisers go, that's a mighty fine one. Even I would not be ashamed powering along in that babe! Great styling if I may say so... But for sailboats I do like them sporty and modern, unless it's a true bluewater cruiser... then it could be a bit more traditional looking... |

| Yep I like our freinds boat "Annas" in the gallery. The plumb stem is very cool on boats of that vintage. I wish I knew more about steam power a machinist and a foundry could make a mean inline 4 for a boat like that! |

| Yeah, but the cockpit is uninhabitable until those buggers warm up!  Do love that sound, though.

| I forgot to post my dream boat, she is a strong ocean goin vessel with lots of room, a real head turner, at 31,552 tonnes  she is a smooth ride, at 229 meters in lenth she command's immediat respect from other boats , the threat of piracy is not even a concern with her..as no one in there right (or wrong ) mind will attempt this suicidal act upon seeing her , her drawbacks are that she is heavey on the fuel and most marinas wont let you in , I have contacted many custom yachy builders ..but they all keep hanging up on me .(<<<walks away from desk wondering how many friends will be needed to help build this dream ship)  >>>>>>>>>>SCHARNHORST<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<  |

| Geez, Gary, now you've gone and made me blush again! (what's taking so long with the PowerBall thing, anyway?) oddball - I love the styling, but is it really practical in these days of fuel economy? (I know, money no object - but Arabia will dry up one day) The burglar deterrent system may be a little OTT ;-) My personal dreamboat is probably the same as Gary's - once he pays for the design I'll be able to afford to build my own. I _did_ mention that the design fee was a whole boat, didn't I? You PowerBall winners can afford that kind of thing... Steve |

| sail..I think you might be right my "burglar deterrent system" might not only scare the ...bad people it might just scare everyone , not to mention the USCG might have a problem with a "pocket battleship...yacht", but all kidding aside those ships were the last of the...."ships of the line" no fancy electronics no fancy wepons...just brute force..now you have ships 1/4 there size with 3 times the fire power..but the new ships just dont have the same presence that they did...almost a work of art in there own right, the sad part is that when she was sunk she took over 1300 sailers with her..only 36 survived  ...... |

| oddball - you're right, those things were beautiful. I have an old 1943 Jane's Fighting Ships that I love to poke through. About 16 years ago, I was looking out of the office window, and saw a grey bow coming past Fort Adams. I thought "Hmmm... Navy boys coming in" and then noticed a mast and upperworks _above_ Ft Adams, but a loooong way back. Thought "Hmmm... two sets of Navy boys." The bow got longer and longer, and finally the upperworks caught up with it. To my shame I can't remember which one she was, but she of the Iowa/Missouri class. Amazing sight sailing past Newport.
