HMM Lecture Series Presents: A Genius at His Trade: C. Raymond Hunt and His Remarkable Boats

In a presentation specially prepared for the Herreshoff Marine Museum, historian and writer Stan Grayson will talk about the life and work of Ray Hunt. He will examine some of the key formative events in Hunt’s life, discuss his extraordinary skills as a sailor, present an overview of several of Hunt’s most important designs and, finally, discuss which three Hunt designs can be considered most revolutionary in their impact on the yachting scene. Stan’s talk will be illustrated by a selection of photos from the book.

Stan Grayson is an historian widely known for his books and articles about American yachting and small-craft history, and the automobile and marine engine industries. He is the author of many articles and books. His work has appeared in Automobile Quarterly, Nautical Quarterly, and WoodenBoat, among other publications. Among his books are Ferrari, the Man, the Machines, Cape Cod Catboats, and The Wianno Senior Story, a Century on Nantucket Sound.
