Design 1985 Prospect of Whitby II
Earlier this week we posted an article about the Palmer Johnson 40, design #2025. A blog reader asked: "Is the boat with sail number 130 on the PJ advertising Prospect of Whitby II? Are her lines the same as those of the PJ/Swan 40?" The simple answer is no. Prospect of Whitby II is shown here. She was built of steel by Frans Maas of Holland and launched in 1968. She was designed for Admiral's Cup racing.
Here are the plans.
And an article about her.
I must admit though I am scratching my head about that PJ40 image we showed with the sail number of 130. Here's Prospect I (design #1781) and II sailing together, each with a sail number of 130. I just don't have an explanation.
