    I recently watched a film entitled "Final Countdown" it featured a beautiful classic fantail named "Gatsby". Does anyone have info on this beauty?

    Hi,

    Welcome to YF.

    Does this sound like the one:

    TufShield™ -Treated Boat Featured in Hollywood
    Back in 1980, TufShield's founder Jerry Fijalkowski had his classic wooden boat Gatsby - which of course was treated with TufShield™ - used in a major Hollywood movie called The Final Countdown, a film about a modern-day aircraft carrier on patrol near Hawaii

    I believe the yacht in the Final Countdown, was actually the 1929 Stephens Brothers Yacht, the Vida Mia… Still moored in Honolulu.
