| It is interesting to note that it was thought that Arthur Piver was lost at sea while sailing his newest 33 ft. Stiletto, shown here. Lauren Williams, an apprentice to Aurther in the late 1950's has recently provided this insite: " When Art was lost he was sailing from San Francisco to San Diego as a 500 mile prerequisit for the OSTAR. His 33 ft. Stileto had already been shipped to England so he bought or borrowed a dumpy little 28 ft. Encore, of his design, but built by someone in Sacramento. I suspect that he was run down by a steamer. We can never know but he was sailing single handed in some VERY busy waters." He was sailing in the Pacific Ocean, in an area west of San Francisco (not far from 50 Marlin Ave., Mill Valley, California..... where Piver lived) through shipping lanes where ships are in excess of 500 feet long and weighing many tons. THEY CANNOT STOP AND DO NOT STOP Neither he nor his trimaran were ever found. |
