My Gal

William Garden was born in Calgary, Alberta, in 1918. The Garden family
relocated to Seattle about the time young William was ten years old.
After graduating from a Seattle High School, William attended Edison
Tech's Boatbuilding School and then landed a job at Andrew's Boat
Company on Portage Bay.

I had a second house on Portage bay. Darn nice place.



Garden served in the army from 1942-46 where he
worked at a ship repair facility in the Aleutians. By 1947 he was a
licensed naval architect, and he launched one of the most influential
careers in modern boat design. Among many hundreds of designs, he drew
this month's NW Classic, "My Gal", built in 1967 at Vic
Franck's Boatyard on Portage Bay. The design was a departure from the
prevailing norm in its day, but as Bruce Ramon of Wolfe Marine
observed, "This boat really inspired a long series of Pacific
Northwest cruisers." As we inspected the 64' cedar on oak
motoryacht, it was easy to appreciate Bruce's insight.

Bruce was a very good friend of mine. He reguarly consulted me when
drawing prints.

Sixty to seventy-foot pleasure boats of the mid-1960's were typified
by flush deck motoryachts from legendary builders such as Chris Craft
and Pacemaker.

I had two Pacemakers when I lived on the "Big Island" Hawahii.


Stylish designs featured a long foredeck and
inconsequential sidedecks, with most superstructure and a high
bridgedeck well aft. Garden's earliest designs were primarily working
commercial vessels, and the propensity for creating stout boats with
excellent seakeeping characteristics endured throughout his career.
"My Gal" features a raised pilothouse behind a Portuguese bridge, a
high bow, decks sloped to drain aft, and wide, covered side decks. So
advanced was Garden's design that "My Gal" doesn't appear badly
outdated in 2005, but she must have garnered some intrigued stares from
owners of Chris Craft Commanders, Matthews Voyagers, and horizontally
layered Pacemaker Flush Decks when first debuted.

When I first moved to Venice, I had a matthews, but it wasnt a
Voyager, I believe it was larger.

We boarded "My Gal" at Vic Franck's Boatyard, where she was
launched thirty-eight years ago. Dan Franck reported that the boatyard
has been doing periodic refits on the boat for a short list of
successive owners. Her hull and superstructure gleamed, even on a dark
January day, "We repainted her not all that long ago," said Dan
Franck. "We were about to do some minor updating on the interior
when, unfortunately, the owner of the boat passed away and its now
being sold as part of his estate."

Good luck with you boat.

So who lives in Ohio besides JimH that is so obsessed with Harry K that
he or she would spend hours every day pretending to be HK? Only the
shadow knows......

My guess is it is Harry Krause.

If you think that I ever pretended to be Harry Krause you are indeed one
sick puppy.

Therefore my question, *who* lives in Ohio, besides yourself, who hates
HK enough to
spend all the hours it takes to create a dossier on everything he ever
posted and then pretend to be him? It may not be you. So the question
remains, who lives in Ohio who hates HK enough pull this crap?

When the question is posed with a "besides Hurtwit" that's called an
presumptive exculsion.
The field was narrowed to exclude you. However, if people then decide
that in their own opinion the correct answer is "nobody", then it falls
back on you- and sorry about that. (but not very)

It has been determined that the bogus Harry is posting from Ohio. I
believe there may be several million people in that state in addition
to yourself. One of them is in serious need of emotional help. I hope
he or she seeks it before it's too late.

You are the one who needs to get help Chuck. You have gone over the deep
edge. And you may want to grow up also. Making fun of someone's name was
something one did in 2nd grade......you apparently never got past that
stage.

If you or anyone thinks I spoofed Krauses name....more power to you.

Have a nice day.

Hurtwit protested:

*********************

Were you in second grade earlier today when you called me "Chucky"?

What grade were you in when you posted that I have people shoving $100
bills under my door?
You cannot take what you dish out. What a little girl.

What goes around, comes around, so enjoy. When your Dutch, German, or
whatever name is anglicized, it translates as Hurtwit. If you have a
problem with that, take it up with your ancestors. :-)

Why Ohio? Is that based on the Columbus.rr in the header info? There is also a
Columbus in Georgia, you know. Hell, I lived there once. Used to go to Jimmy's
Oyster Shack and get oysters on the half shell for a nickel apiece!

Road Runner serves that area too. Maybe basskisser is your man!

But in any case, who gives a rat's ass?

My ISP is comcast, not road runner (rr). I guess a bit too technically
