Yes, and it was Capt. Rob who actually drew the lines of some of the more
successful yachts.

Sad news, it's truly the end of an era. Olin Stephens was the most
influential yacht designer for several generations, for the whole
world.

Well, all of Bubbles friends are imaginary but Olin did contribute a
chapter to Cap'n Rob's coffee table book.

No, but Stephens wife, not knowing what to do with the half models she
has been left, has decided to give them to Bob. In turn Bob will flog
them for a kings ransom on flea bay, and brag ad-nauseum about it to the
group even as we read about her starving grandchildren.

Whatever happened to that book? I can't seem to dig up ISBN for it?
