HoG was(is) stunning. Was she a Philip Rhodes design? There are similarities to our old 'Rhodie'. Wood or steel? I appreciate the name's etymology.
Oh, can I guess too? Jack Hargrave?
You guys are good!
She was built by Burger Boat Co. Probably the last of her series in steel, with teak decks and wood/canvas house. Designed by Hargrave. She was chined aft but was a displacement cruiser. The year after, Burger forever switched to aluminum. Design draft dropped a foot, higher powered Jimmies, and they became coastal cruisers.
Oh, to add to my list, she would need stabilizers for sure! My heart still pumps faster when I see her photo.
Regarding the name, I became infatuated with naming my ship that after reading Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's series in high school.
