That sir, is boat porn... off to confess my sins..I shall not covet thy neighbors boat:cool:

That is fantastic. Any thoughts about reviving the hulls in the 20-30' class for us folks economically closer to lower middle class?:cool: Surely some owner will want the matching tender option.

Well, this 36' center console will be the tender for the 66' convertible sportfisherman. I do have plans to develop something around 21' based on Carl's earlier designs when I have some extra time.

Thay have such pretty lines of their own but every time I've seen one, three boats come to mind; Spencer, Garlington, Bayliss. I mean that in the best way possible. They are so different with the vdh bottom on top of the styling. I've heard of the ride, efficiency and speed but have never had the fortune of spending time on an F&S. Are they predominantly wood or composite or a mixture? I'm jealous of someone, lol.

Wow, That's a tender! Are these boats all being built @ F&S? Or are you working with other builders?

workinprogress, you are absolutely correct regarding the styling. That's what everyone seems to want these days. I work for Spencer Yachts as well... The 36 is built with Core-Cell and the larger hulls are cold molded wood although they will build them either way. All the superstructure parts are constructed with Core-Cell as well.

McGillicuddy, F&S is building all there own hulls and superstructures in Bear Delaware but the interiors are typically subcontracted out to Belkov Yacht Company in Annapolis. The plan for the 36 is to build a mold from this first one and have another builder construct all others to follow.

Flying Time, Thanks. I hope you'll keep this gang posted on that (36' production) evolution. The work you are doing is very cool/impressive. Love to hear more on the 21 concept when the time is right, too.

Cheers,
McG
