    I am trying to find any information on a Murray G Peterson designed 65 ft Schooner built in Hawaii around 1974 by a local shipwright named Kurt Ashford.

    Any information about Murray's designs or Kurt Ashford is much appreciated.

    Thanks Eric

    I had already tracked down Bill Peterson and have a friend in Maine who is trying to contact Bill this week. I cannot find an email address for Bill, any clues?

    My Landing School classmate and friend Richard Frost has worked off and on for Bill Peterson. Write me an email at stephen@fraplaster.com and I'll put the two of you in touch.
