    Thats the Music Man III. It used to be docked at the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach for years. I believe it was originally a PT boat in the US Navy that was converted to a yacht around 30 years ago. It doesn't move very often, but when it does it is a beautiful sight to see.

    If it's around 85', it's an ASR hull (Air-Sea-Rescue). My family had one in the late 50's to early 60's. Not sure what happened to it. The RPH looks very similar to our boat, but the aft section is very different. (from what little I remember)

    Capt. Buddy... can you get a few more shots of this boat from various angles?

    The boat is around that size. I used to have some pictures of that boat but they were lost years ago. I will try and take some more pictures of the boat next time I head down to that marina.

    I believe this is the SuperWolf with Ms. Stella Danfray aboard, advertising for my grandfather's cosmetics. The Superwolf was originally refurbished (to the best of my knowledge) by James Leslie Younghusband, who kept it in the Ft. Lauderdale Fl area.

    If this was indeed my GF's boat, I have some of the original pictures acquired when my aunt passed. I even have one with my mom on board. I don't have anyone to pass them to and the history is interesting. I would love to get in contact with either a yacht historical society (does such a thing exist?) or the current owner of the boat. It seems it would be nice to have as much of the history of the boat as possible. It's a bit of American history, given that folks who can afford such luxuries are usually playing an interesting role in the country. J.L. Younghusband was an inverstor of cosmetics (Dana Perfume company) and inventor of a prototype plane. I have mostly learned about him from my mother when she was alive and reading old news (Paparrazzi like articles).
