"Blue Glass" is a classic Custom Yacht, designed by C.Raymond Hunt and built by CE Ryder at Gladding Hearn in Somerset MA. The construction was ahead of its time for 1986, coring her with closed cell foam in lieu of wood, making her lighter and stronger than wood cored boats, creating a faster (20kt cruise) and more economical (32 gph) yacht. She has a unique layout, with one stateroom forward, galley and dinette aft (converts to sleep 2). larger salon, upper and lower helm. In the past ten years the hull and super structure have been awlgripped and the detailed owner has replaced most of her integral parts, making her truly turnkey for the next discriminating yachtsman.
