2/9 - Great Lakes built yacht in Florida - Bill Hoey |
||||
 In the shadow of a cruise ship Vitamin crosses Port Everglades. The 120 foot yacht is seventh of her class built by Palmer Johnson of Sturgeon Bay Wisconsin. Her twin, hull 120-6 is Ocean Drive which is in the Miami Boat Show this week. Vitamin is most likely being used by Palmer Johnson as a test drive boat to sell the two unsold yachts. |
 Close up of the stern of Vitamin, showing her paper and tape home port of Sturgeon Bay Wisconsin, not quite up to the quality of the rest of the yacht. |
