Info

REBIRTH OF EROS ago there wasn't a stick of cabinetry or a single wall section below decks, other than the four watertight bulkheads. Today, though, there are four elegant double cabins, each with a private head, and one even has a Jacuzzi. The main salon is said to be exactly the same as when Von Berg first stepped aboard 70 years ago — except for the piano. Grace sewed all the cushion coverings and other fabric accessories herself. Accommodations for six crew are found forward of a thoroughly modern galley, which Grace designed. In their early days of chartering, she attended a Cordon Bleu cooking school in the south of France and still loves to whip up exquisite dishes for dinner guests. And yes, the boat also has a washer-dryer these days. "She's actually got most of the modern electrical stuff now," Bill confides, you just don't see most of it. In addition to her 350hp Detroit diesel, she has a bow thruster — which Page 102 • Latitude 38 • October, 2009 LATITUDE / ANDY Make your boat DRY, COMFORTABLE & ROOMY with a dodger from Cover Craft "Get rid of all the fears and enhance all the dreams that the cruising life can give you."

Richmond, CA 94801 In Brickyard Cove Marina (510) 234-4400 is controlled from the helm with a discreet joystick. An integrated chart plotter is also part of the helm station now, complete with AIS. Why does Eros need such state-of-the art equipment? Because now that they've finally got her all together, Grace and Bill plan to do a bit of voyaging. Where? When they tell us that they really don't know, we believe them, but for now she'll most likely remain on the West Coast. "We'll probably do some chartering too," says Grace. And why not. They've certainly got the boat for it. It's nice to think that 42 years after heading out the Gate with their first big schooner, this salty couple will soon be slicing through the wavetops again, and creating new memories to replace those that have faded. We just hope that between Eros' stints of traveling she'll continue to call the Bay Area home. — latitude/andy ®
