    Dan Smith

    Dan Smith boarded a coal freighter as deckhand in Toledo four days after graduation from high school. His sailboats have included a Snipe, a Flying Scot, a Morgan 22, a Dickerson 35, and an Allied Seawind 30. Hurricane Andrew destroyed Kohinoor, the Seawind, in 1992. Dan bought a Marshall catboat and enjoys winters gunkholing in the Florida Keys.

    The Allied Boat Company established its building site on Catskill Creek in Catskill, N.Y., 100 miles north of New York City. Just off the Hudson River, it was an ideal place from which to build and launch boats. For the company’s entire time in business, from 1962 to 1981, it remained at this location. Northam Warren, at right, was the key leader during the company’s best years.
