More About Bruce McPherson Yacht Designer


As a follow up to my posting of Friday, March 18 regarding Bruce McPherson, after a bit more research and per Harry Morgan who works for Sparkman & Stephens and worked here with Bruce, we find design #2250 - Maltese Cat. This 1/2 tonner was designed by Bruce for his own use.

Here is the general arrangement plan.
