| STAR was
custom built for naval architect Frederick S. Ford as his personal yacht.
Preferring a wooden boat built with current techniques, he came to Steve
Van Dam, whose ingenuity and attention to detail is well-known. STAR
was built using modern construction methods such as all glued construction
and a laminated hull; thus assuring extraordinary strength and rigidity,
qualities that will endure through the years.
As in every custom boat built by Van Dam's, the skilled craftsmen hand selected the wood used in STAR for both its beauty and its strength. A luxurious interior using soft, rounded shapes and warm colors has created a rich and homey atmosphere. The exquisite joinery details, both inside and out, are a testimony to Van Dam Wood Craft's "Excellence in Wood."
