The author wrote about his adventures with several yachtsmen, including my father, Paul Hurst, who owned &#8220;Staghound&#8221;, a 42 foot Alden ketch. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p> Hi Paul: I don&#8217;t recall the book, but I surely remember Staghound. Didn&#8217;t she win Transpac on handicap twice in the early 50s? I think one year was 1955&#8211;when our schooner (under new owner&#8217;s) was second overall in the fleet to her. For old marine books check with Bert Flavell at Sea Ocean Book Berth&#8211;206 675 9020. If he doesn&#8217;t have your book, he will know who does.
