"Tomten" is an excellent example of an impressive boat created by
the splendid execution of a simple design. Based on the fact that Grand
Banks trawlers (and the dozens of boat brands that Grand Banks directly
inspired) can be seen throughout the Pacific Northwest decade after
decade, there should be little or no dispute that many regional boaters
consider the Grand Banks a "classic" choice.
It's the classic designs, like the Beal Downeasters (which were really
designed by about fifteen different Beals, but they all had the same
form and function - differences were in the details) which bring a
smile and a "if only".
It's the same with classic cars. You can have the 'Stangs in all
their incarnations - give me a Plymouth Super Bird or GTX 440. :)
Nice write up Chuck.
