Gil, my first impulse was to make some remark about it not being a Tahiti Ketch, if it had a hard chine.. However, once I looked at the picture I will have to say that she does look fine and still retains some of the profile and character of the Hanna design. Thanks for the visual..

This boat actually just sold off Ebay, I believe.

I first thought about a Tahitiana, but the Tahitiana is a multi chine boat. This one has one... Maybe a one-off inspired by the Tahiti.. Anyone else has an idea? Sincerely, Gil. |

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.

I'm just saying that it looks like a Tahiti aside from the hard chine. I suspect that it was inspired by the Hanna design. Steve |

http://keskydee.com/sailing/images/PortSide.jpg Who the heck would want to put a flying bridge on a Tahiti? ;-) I think I _may_ know it's provenance, but am checking first. Stay tuned... Steve Stephen C. Baker - Yacht Designer http://members.aol.com/SailDesign/pr...cbweb/home.htm |

Great, I'd love to know.. 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. Steve Stephen C. Baker - Yacht Designer http://members.aol.com/SailDesign/pr...cbweb/home.htm |

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. Steve |

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. MMC "Gil G." wrote in message ...

Hi Gil.
William and John Atkin had some of V Hull double enders. It looks like and enlarged "Economy Jane": http://www.boat-links.com/Atkinco/Sail/EconomyJane.html |

Steve s/v Good Intentions 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?
