With some help of a chap in the UK sailing group I got a great lead on
RedClouds builder.

Seems she was not buildt in Lowenstolt England but the orignal owner
registered her there.

She was buildt by a company called De Vires Lentsch in Norway in 1975-6
for Micheal C. Warden as a custom bare hull. Mr Warden took delivery
March 12th 1976.

Walt de Vries Lentsch Jr. was kind enough to provide me lots of great
info and was very happy to hear the boat is still around. I've been
looking for this info since I bought the boat.

Yeah I thought is was good news myself seems they have done everything
from A-Z in steel hulls.

Doug would be happy with a Devries as well

If you look at the hull in progress it exactly the way RedCloud was
framed.

Pretty expensive boats on that side of the pond, and well respected.

Who has anything bad to say about Norway?

What's wrong with limey boats?

I had the impression that De Vries was Dutch. The Dutch are
the real masters of steel boat construction, have been at it
for longer than anybody else and built a wider variety of
small vessels.

That's far too big a boat for me. My wants are simple. Could
you picture that 90 footer anchoring in a quiet little creek?
