Reading through this brought to mind a project that sunk both a new boat build and a storied boatbuilder back in the mid 1980's when Goudy and Stephens built a 68 odd foot Fexas designed sportfishing boat in East Boothbay Maine that was plagued with conflict between the yard and owners throughout the build and ultimately ( many said " conveniently" ) sank at the dock following her launch and prior to commissioning. Always thought it would make a good story.
