My submissions for ther list are:

Romsdahl  52  -  No longer in production but many still available
Romsdahl  77  -  No longer in production by some still  on the market

To this I would add the Romsdahl 65 and 45 all beautiful and salty craft
that represent a passage making yacht design that predates Beebe's Passagemaker.

I must say that I've never seen one of these vessels first hand but ever
since my dad pointed one out in the brokerage section of Yachting Magazine
35+ years ago I've admired them from afar and to this day if someone says
"trawler" I get a mental image of a Romsdahl.

BTW back in the early 60's a Romsdahl 65 sold for $65,000; last year one was
listed locally for $300,000+ (I believe its new owner may be a TWListee)
