You’ve seen his designs (probably even owned one) and read his design reviews, but did you know that yacht designer Bob Perry digs dogs? Ever since I’ve known him there’s been a dog or two or three around Bob’s office. It’s obvious they only help the design process. Here we see Bob chauffering Ruby.
Have a Northwest dog photo or story? Please share!
What’s Bob doing now? Well, he’s not slowing down. He’s closely monitoring the construction of the multiple carbon cutters being built by Jim Betts in Anacortes. The deck is being jointed to hull #1 today. I can’t wait to see the new boats. Talk about original!
