"Gliding Gander"- Past ABC Wide World of Sports Boat in 1980 and 1981. This boat was used by Mr. Curt Gowdy and Mr. Gad About Gaddis to film hunting and fishing trips on the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays. Gliding Gander is a Fiberglass 46' Lippencott, 19,900 lbs. displacement, 3'-3' draft, twin 3208 Caterpillar Engines, 210 HP each. Picture taken in July 2009 after just taken out of shink-wrap. Gliding Gander was in dry dock for two years after its last 4000 mile voyage throughout the Bahamas. Restoration will include a new larger cabin and flybridge, autopilot, additional tankage to provide a minimum safe cruising range of 425 statute miles.

Fiberglass work and design is being done under the watchful eye of Mr. Tony Van de Wal of AVFM, LLC of Rock Hall, Maryland. Mechanical and electrical work is being overseen by Mr. Scott Hyland of Hyland Marine, Kennedyville, MD.  Both of these gentlemen maintained Gliding Gander from the beginning and have proven themselves well.  I reccomend giving them a call for your next marine project or problem; just do not call them before Lea and I cast off with a completed boat!
