| What did the Designers sail? I'm curious what sailboat designers used for their personal boat. From what I understand: Capt. Nat Herreshoff designed for himself the 26' "Alerion III" When he was 76 and living in Florida, he sailed a 30' K/CB "Pleasure" Joel White sailed a Bridges Point 24 called "Ellisha" Carl Alberg sailed a 26' Pearson Commander named after his wife "Alma" Anybody have any information about the personal boats of prominent designers, past and present?  |

Moved in 1984 to Chesapeake Bay and cruised there and up East Coast for another year before selling her. Built in 1973 Last edited by Raggi_Thor : 01-23-2007 at 05:04 PM. Reason: Forgot source/link |
