So would this vessel be referred to as a Willard then?
"Look at that fish hook in the stem. A CQR most likely. In head seas I wonder how they deal w the water coming up the anchor hawsepipe? Must make quite an eruption on the foredeck."
A can of spray insulating foam is what we use. Keeps the water from squirting up the H pipe and anchor still at he ready able to deploy. Just fill it from the top.
Greetings,
The Gryphon, to the best of my memory is an ex US army T-boat. Steel, 65' in length.
The design is by William Barrows, unusual because that's the only design I know of from him, yet it appears a nice boat. She was built by Willard of foam cored glass in about 1977.....
