Galatea?

[* photoboy]

This tri has been tied up for some time at a local SF peninsula marina. Looks like it has some stories to tell..Maybe even could tel some more with some TLC..

The named seems vaguely familiar, but I'm probably just confusing it with Aotea...

Clues?

Galatea was the name of the statue that the sculptor Pygmalion created, then fell in love with.

Galatea was the name of the 5th challenger for the Americas Cup.

Would be interresting to know what is the story of this "Galatea"

Hey Photoboy, what don't you go to the marina office and ask for the owner ... he will be able to tell you.

If you have an answer don't forget to post it.

If you have some wider pics, it would be great to have different views.

Google search turns up this:

scroll down to the name GALATEA. I hardly think the pictured is a Piver, tho' this is the AYRS

Her hailing port is Kona... ? PM "Matt Pearce" (is his SA handle) here at SA, he lives in Hawaii, sails multihulls, might know about the boat.

I was thinking that it did not look like an atlantic design. Pacific - maybe a Rudy Choy?

There's a 39' LOA 27' beam documented Galatea built by Michael Lael in 1983 with a hailing port of SF. Sound like it?

Pretty sure thats not a Native, hasn't got a wing mast either.

Nope - that's not the Newick. the Newick is currently on the hard in Napa. Pretty and damn nice. it's a lot of boat for the $s.

Hasn't got any mast in the pic... where you see the mast?

I thought Galatea was the lady Ed Dunkel married in On The Road. She complained alot...
