Sadly, i was mistooken. I thought it was one of Yves Tanton's Tahiti-inspired
boats, but he says the chine line is all wrong for one of his.
Good luck with the hunt.

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.

I can't find what I was looking for in my books on steel hulls.

Is it possible that this is a steel adaptation of the Dreadnought 32.. (the
Dreadnought was a '70s adaptation for GRP of the Hanna Tahiti)

From Gils picture, it looks larger than 32ft and has a much longer cabin
trunk.

Hello Steve,

I really appreciate the effort, thanks!

If anyone else wants to give it a try:

Gil,
Was this boat at Cape Marina in Port Canaveral? There was a steel boat I was
told was a Tahiti in the yard there for a while.

This boat actually just sold off Ebay, I believe.

See p274 from "From My Old Boatshop" by Weston Farmer.

Hi,

No, it sat for a few years in a marina in Florida, and was never
proposed on Ebay.
Westom Farmer designed the Tahitiana, a multi chine boat. I actually
have a set of plans. However, this boat has one chine.
It certainly looks a lot like one, and I first thought it was.

Sincerely,

Gil.

No, it was in Ft. Lauderdale for years. Real Tahitis are made in wood.
The design is definitely based on the Tahiti though..

Hi Gil.

William and John Atkin had some of V Hull double enders.
It looks like and enlarged "Economy Jane":

Hello,

Has anyone heard of a steel version of the Tahiti Ketch, single
chine..?


Could be a Merritt Walter designed Gypsy Rover..

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?
