Thomaston, Maine: Lyman-Morse, with support from the Cruising Club of America and the Ocean Cruising Club, has organized a Designers' Forum on Saturday, October 21st. Eleven recognized naval architects and designers will arrive from across the country to participate.

"We think the industry has a lot to talk about right now- whether it is the America's Cup going back to monohulls; the state of our sport; or what's next for all of us in this business?" said Drew Lyman, President of Lyman-Morse. "We talk about this constantly and we thought it would be interesting to let the public in on the conversation."

The event will begin with an Open House at Lyman-Morse in Thomaston, with designers on hand to showcase their latest work from 10-1pm.  After a break for lunch, a capacity crowd of 100 will gather at the Farnsworth Museum's Wyeth Center for a Designers' Panel Discussion and Q&A segment.
