Saw a FSBO ad on another site for a 50’ Defever Performance Offshore Cruiser, 1989 vintage. Clearly states it was designed by Dough Sharp, and doesn’t look like classic Defevers. Very good looking boat, just wondering what makes it a Defever. As I understand it Defever didn’t build boats, just designed them. Maybe at that time Mr. Sharp was working in Art’s design firm and did the primary design work? Just curious. BTW, a quick Google scan showed that Doug Sharp has his own design firm now and apparently specializes in mega yachts.
