Design 675 Taltohna


Heres an interesting design that was heavily influenced by her owner, being an industrial designer himself. This is another example of a boat that was designed strictly as a cruising boat showing herself to be a good racing yacht, for example she is a 2 time winner of the Chicago to Mackinac Race.

Taltohna was built of wood by Sturgeon Bay Boat Works of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin and launched in 1946.

Here are the plans.


Please note that the sail plan shows her as a ketch yet the image below shows her as a sloop. I have no information about when or why this change was made.


Heres an interesting article. Please double click for zoom.
