Drawings & scantlings performed by CC - topsides by Richard Avery. Built to highest yacht standards in Pompano, Florida. Hull shape well suited to both the material and her purpose. Sharp entry forward, v-bottom flattens towards rear for efficient planing and good stability at trolling speed in a seaway. Legend has it that one TF was lost at the bottom of the Bimini Trench off Grand Caymans - 2000 fathoms below that is -- calling Dr. Ballard! |
