Historical:
Liam English WoodenBoat Forum – I remember Huntress from my youth in Mass Bay. As I remember, it was kept in Marblehead where Hunt has his office and was one of maybe 2 built as the prototype of a class. I kind of remember that it was called a 310 (he had earlier designed the 110 in the late 30’s and the 210 right after the war, I believe).I was lucky enough to have met him several times; it is to him that I owe a debt of gratitude for learning what “ducks” are. and I had thought they were whales!
We had a 210 for some years. What a wonderful boat that was. I miss it! 210/#146.
