This Custom built cruiser was 10 years in construction. She was designed and constructed by a retired Navy Torpedo Boat Operator, incorporating some of the designs of the vessels he served aboard. Examples include readily accessible electrical and plumbing components as well as overbuilt and redundancy systems. The hull is 1/4" thick, side are 3/16" and the deck and superstructure are 1/8" plate. The keel, chines and stem joints are double thickness and the hull was pressure tested prior to launch to ensure water tightness. There has been no leakage since launching in 1990.
