Bymar
Defoe built this 155 foot, welded steel yacht from the plans of Cox & Stevens in 1938. In designing the Bymar, Cox & Stevens matched her remarkable comfort and efficiency with the streamlined beauty of her lines.
Defoe is again equipped and ready to take over the construction of large yachts as designed by famed naval architectural firms.
Janidore
In 1929, Defoe continued a long asso-ciation with the internationally-known naval architect, John H. Wells, by building the Janidore which he had designed for operation in the Pacific out of San Francisco.
Among the other yachts designed by John H. Wells and constructed by Defoe, is the 153 foot SARAMAR built for Mr. Charles T. Fisher of Detroit.

Defoe takes pride in presenting these photographs of fine vessels which represent the best in design and illustrate the close relationship which Defoe has enjoyed with America\'s naval architects for four decades.
