Being an architecture school graduate, I'm pretty familiar with Frank
Gehry's architecture and design aesthetic. I learned a bit about Greman
Frers while boat shopping and reading about some boats caught my eye
that were designed by him.
This boat has a place in nautical history and in architectural design.
This is most notably interesting as you have an ideal scenario. A world
famous architect with many remarkable buildings standing, a world famous
naval architect with many remarkable designs afloat, an extremely
reputable yard AND a very rich client with pockets deep enough and and
interest strong enough to spend the money that would make something like
this happen! It is a true rarity and this is a boat that will, most
likely, be talked among students of both worlds for many years to come!

I was given a tour of /Foggy /when she was in Edgartown for the "Round
The Vineyard Race last summer.
The interior was fascinating. But no opening ports anywhere. Felt a
little constricting and disconnected from the elements. And the
"windows" reveal the construction cross-section. Hard to not be
impressed. All systems, of course, were impeccable.
Interesting study, but not to my taste
