Talk:Ralph Munroe

Editing dispute - yacht New Dawn
An editor, 81.145.148.185, has made an edit adding a yacht, New Dawn, to the list of yachts designed by Ralph Munroe. I reverted that edit and 81.145.148.185 put the edit back. We have discussed this on 81.145.148.185's talk page. Would a third party care to offer their opinion so we can achieve consensus? GroveGuy (talk) 20:58, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

As the editor who made the addition I would like to add the following. New Dawn is a 38' presto built to a set of lines produced by Munroe. Not only is there is no reason why New Dawn shouldn't be in the section 'Proas and yachts designed by Ralph Middleton Munroe' but the list is obviously incomplete without her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.145.148.185 (talk) 10:41, 15 February 2013 (UTC) The discussion on the talk page:


 * Welcome to Wikipedia. I notice your first edit was to add a yacht to the list designed by Ralph Munroe. I searched for mention of this yacht and its builder and couldn't find anything. As you say it was built in 1981 that is fifty years after Munroe died. Unless you can provide a citation for your edit I will continue to revert it. GroveGuy (talk) 22:18, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * New Dawn is a 38' presto started in late '74 and launched in 81. The builder / owner came across Henry Howard's book Alice after sailing across to Miami some years previously and became interested in Munroe's designs.  She is well proven having crossed the Atlantic twice (there and back) on a tour of the Caribbean back in the late '90's.  A beautiful and much admired boat she was designed by Muroe and so should be on the list.  I will therefore continue to add her.  Michael


 * That's nice that someone admires Munroe enough to make a copy of one of his designs. I suggest you make a blog about this. But it doesn't belong in Wikipedia. GroveGuy (talk) 10:11, 14 February 2013 (UTC)


 * A yacht designed by Munroe doesn't belong in the section titled 'Proas and yachts designed by Ralph Middleton Munroe'? Got to disagree with you there so New Dawn is where she belongs. Michael


 * Let's move this discussion to the talk page for Ralph Munroe so we can get a consensus. GroveGuy (talk) 21:01, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Can we agree that Munroe devised the Presto so if New Dawn is a Presto then she should be in the list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.145.148.185 (talk) 16:27, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
