“The Christine,
    a Sloop rigged Cruising Racer”

I built this yacht over a period of 7 years with the help of a collection of dedicated and highly skilled craftsmen. Peter Ebbutt, the projects Naval Architect and Structural Engineer, kept construction on its proper path. The combination of German craftsmanship and engineering produced a result that exceeded my highest and very ambitious expectations.

“This yacht is an absolute joy to sail!”

Christine handles beautifully... in choppy waters, high wind and lazy breezes. The boat performs completely balanced with outstanding control. Should the wind gods fail to smile on us, our reliable turbo-charged Cummings power plant propels us to our destination.

“The beginning
    was a dream”

The creation of Christine began in October of 1989.... When I look back at the photos we took during the early building phases, I’m reminded of what a journey it was, from the first paper drawings, to our breath-taking launch 7 years later, in October 1996.

silent, and I remember gliding through the waves at 12 to 15 knots, with the reflection of the full moon glistening on the water. I watched a pod of dolphins swim aside the boat. They raced to catch the bow, to dash beneath it, leaving a phosphorous trail that lit the water around us. It was serene and beautiful, and forever pictured in my mind.
