Wasn't allowed to do the stern at that time, as my mistakes could be corrected with not much expense, and cosmetic problems, where the stern and the cabins topside, showed the true expertise of matching the grain lines of the plugs to the planks. Don't have an original picture of that boat, but as memory serves me, I learned the fine art of plugging the screw holes in the Phillipine mahogany planks with white lead, and the ones in the teak deck with varnish. I guess I figured you were in some way involved with your name listed the way it was. The original owner of Conleeda was George J. There was room for only 3 boats in the main building we worked in, and most of the time there were 2. The previous boats Hummel Hummel 169 and Bonte' 170 were in various stages of finishing when I started.
I think that she was the first boat that I worked on from keel up.
Thanks!I really hope you can validate this. So this is definitely within the wrealm of possibilities.ĭoes anyone have any suggestions as to how I can validate this? I've always been a huge fan of Desi and Lucy and to know that my boat used to belong to them would be awesome. H C Grebe also built an 85 footer for Elizabeth Taylor a 75 footer for Jerry Lewis and many other notable celebrities. And Desi Arnaz owned several boats in his time and was known to spend his free time on the water whenever he could. as the original purchaser and Googling that name revealed that Desiderio Arnaz was the real name of Desi Arnaz. What's really interesting is that the site lists Desiderio A. According to the website () there was only one 54 ft Grebe built in 1958 and that's the old girl I now own. I found a page that listed what seems to be all the Grebes ever built, which isn't many because H C Grebe was a custom yacht builder. Several months ago, I purchased a 1958 Henry C Grebe and did a bit of online research to see if there was anything interesting about her history.
