It is a Dettling 51 Built on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Design by C. Raymond Hunt and Assocates of Boston, MA
She should be a 51 footer and if I do not recall the name wrongly should be Deitling, if spelling is not wrong.
Dettling is correct. Built just a few miles from my home in Md. They are beautiful yachts and are indeed Classics.
Thanks Seaeric, however while i was trying to remember the correct name Captpkilbride moved faster. So, it should be his turn.
Regrettably I have no ideas for what to post at the moment, so I pass on this round and say anyone can post the next one.
So, then it is fair for me to take the chance; what is the name, and who is the builder and designer of this expedition style yacht?
My first try... Now named Avante, I believe this 116 Feadship was originally Christened "Highlander" in 1967 and was owned by the famous Yachtsman, Malcolm Forbes. She suffered a serious fire years ago and was rebuilt in Merrill Stevens.
Wow. Lets see... Although it's hard to see this classics original beauty, she was at one time a real head turner. How about a name, the builder and maybe a year.
