Nope. But...OMG....it's held up with barrels?!?!

I hate the way the boat yard here puts them up like that I have been on anchor just off shore from the boat yard and it was gusting to 107 mph on the wind speed meter. But thats the yard we have to work with. We are hoping to get her back in the water this fall.

We might have found out she is a choy lieu boat does that mean anything to anyone?

Even the coast guard info is strange.

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing the boat MIGHT have been built by a small shipyard in Hong Kong. Lieu might be a Cantonese surname. Google tells me it could also be Vietnamese/Chinese. However, I have not heard of any boat yards in Vietnam building/selling boats to Yanks in the late 70's.

I believe there where many other yacht builders in HKG from the 1960's and on. Labor and material's such has hard wood where dirt cheap.

Hong Kong was what Bangkok/Thailand is, or maybe as Thailand is progressing, Cambodia might be a better example. (sorry for the history lesson )

Or Taiwan. Many builders produced the same design under different names, often without the original designer getting credit or royalties. Bob Perry's book tells some of this as does Heart of Glass by Dan Spurr I believe. Based of the interior it looks very much like the Tayana style common on many boats from that part of the world.

Yes, good call! Taiwan is also a very good possibility.

Interestingly enough, I just did a "USCG vessel search by name" for Euroclydon and only found one listed--and yours isn't it!!!!!!!! Office of Science and Technology

Yours did show up in a USCG vessel search by ID, though. Office of Science and Technology

Very interesting that the USCG database/searches don't match!!! (Our Homeland Security dollars at work?)
