The past few months I have been involved in three very interesting projects. I am working with engineer Ivan Erdevicki on a 114’ ketch to be marketed as the BLUE PEARL 114. This client previously owned one of my CT 65’s aka Scorpio 72 and he wanted a larger boat. This is an ultimate cruising boat designed for performance and comfort with full crew quarters. This design has given me the chance to put to work all that I have learned about interior layouts over the last 35 years. I have also been working on a 50” Motor Sailer for Emil Dopyera. This is the ideal “old man’s boat”. Emil wants to continue cruising but no longer wants the demands of a high powered sailing yacht. The new boat will be a true motor sailer with accommodations for a couple to spend extended periods on board. I don’t think there are any boats quite like this design. We call it the DOBROSON 50. Under construction right now at the Sunnfjord yard in Tacoma is this 115’ racing canoe for the AOA Village of American Samoa. These craft are called Fautassi and you can loosely translate that as “super canoe”. They are propelled by 43 stout Samoans with carbon sweeps. The reach speeds up to 14 knots and race over a five mile course. This is one of those crazy projects that I could not resist taking. I traveled to Samoa to check out the overall situation and I was hooked. Work also continues with FLYING TIGER projects. The FT10m is now up to 100 hulls produced and we have just launched the first of the new FT7.5m’s. Currently we are working on the new FT13.8m. I now work exclusively with Ivan Erdevicki for all my engineering needs. I have known Ivan for years and he has a good crew in his office in Montenegro. We seem to be a good match and have already done several projects together. On the family front Max is still at MicroSoft and Spike is still at Ballard Ornamental Iron. All is well there. I have also adopted a stray cat Jill found on the side of the road near the house. We call her Pumpkin and she is a total joy and great addition to the family.
