Eagle Wing

Again by special request: the new boat. Click the image to see a larger photo. This is a Gulf 32, hull #4. It is the oldest Gulf 32 of which we are aware. We have heard that the first three built burned in a fire before they were sold. This one is built to the original plans by William Garden. After hull #10, the company was sold and many more have been built but not to Bill Garden's original design. We were also told that National Geographic originally bought the boat in 1965 and conducted eagle surveys for 12 years in Alaska. We have to verify this.
