Some of the WW II PT boats were built at the old Ludders shipyard in
Stamford, CT which later turned into the Yacht Haven East Marina, now
known as Brewer's East and is mostly office space. When I started
boating out of Stamford in the early 70s there was still a PT boat
hull on the edge of the parking lot.


That's Luders, not Ludders. My dad owned an L16, one of the prettiest
"racing" sloops ever.
Right you are, good catch.

And yes, the L16 is a darned fine looking boat.

In addition to absolutely beautiful lines, the L16s were beautiful up
close. They were built of molded mahogany. Nice sailing boats, too.

Beautiful boats...there are still quite a number of Roue 20 sailboats that
race up here.

There are very few modern boats that can compete in looks with the
beauty of some of the older boats.
