Default Ever heard of a steel version of the Tahiti Ketch?

Ya know! That picture of the stern and the stern post looks familiar but I
can't place it.. I'll look through some of my disign books.

What's weird is that everybody seem to forget that the Tahiti ketch
was just one of many variation's on the Colin Archer style. You can
design that type of boat without having ever seen a Tahiti ketch . . .
I know of a few French designers who produced boats in that style.
Tanton is one of them but since Stephen Baker checked, it must be one
of the other 20 designers who produced norvegians double enders.
Or Atkin? Did he design for steel?
