'''WHERE IS CAPTAIN RON'S BOAT ? CAPTAIN RON, CAPTAIN RON'S BOAT, FORMOSA 51, 1976 FORMOSA 51.

I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE 2 FORMOSA 51 FOOT SAIL BOATS USED IN THE CAPTAIN RON MOVIE AND ANOTHER SET WAS BUILT IN A STUDIO TO LOOK LIKE THE INSIDE AND THE ENGINE ROOM. THE FILM COMPANY WHO MADE THE MOVIE CAPTAIN RON WAS DISNEY/ HYBRID PRODUCTIONS. HYBRID PRODUCTIONS OWNED THE 2 FORMOSA 51'S AND AFTER THE MOVIE WAS MADE THEY SOLD THEM. ON BOTH OF THE USCG ABSTRACT OF TITLES, 2  FORMOSA 51'S WERE OWNED BY HYBRID PRODUCTIONS. ONE OF THE BOATS 680433 WAS USED FOR THE AT DOCK SCENES AND THE OTHER 611351 WAS USED FOR THE SAILING SCENES. THE 680433 WAS MADE IN 1976. THE 611351 WAS MADE IN 1978. THESE 2 NAME CHANGES WERE MADE BY 'HYBRID PRODUCTIONS' IN SEPT 1992. THE 680433 WAS DOCUMENTED 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE 611351, SO THIS MAKES 680433 THE FIRST 'WANDERER'.
 * 1) 1. USCG # 680433 WAS NAMED 'CASSANDRA' AND HER NAME WAS CHANGED TO 'WANDERER' ON SEPT 2, 1992.
 * 2) 2. USCG # 611351 WAS NAMED 'BILLIE'S PEARL' AND HER NAME CHANGER TO 'WANDERER' ON SEPT 19,1992.

THE CURRENT OWNER OF USCG # 680433 IS 'RON' AND THE BOAT IS IN A MARINA IN COSTA RICA. THE CURRENT OWNER OF USCG # 611351 IS MARCEL AND MAUREEN LANDRY AND THE BOAT IS IN TEXAS.

THE OWNER OF 680433 DELETED THE DOCUMENTATION. I CONTACTED THE CURRENT OWNER "RON" AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE BOAT OUT OF COSTA RICA AND TAKE HER UP TO CALIFORNIA AND START A CHARTER SERVICE IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA.

THE OWNER OF 611351 DELETED THE DOCUMENTATION AND HE CURRENTLY HAS THE BOAT FOR SALE IN TEXAS.''' '''
