William “Bill” Luther, Naval Architect, receives Lifetime Achievement Award

Lifetime Achievement Award

Naval Architect William “Bill” B. Luther has been a partner with Offshore Yachts for many years. Bill worked side by side with the great Naval Architect William I.B. Crealock.  We want to give a “shout-out” as Bill was honored by the Maritime Institute not only for his work as a Naval Architect but more importantly for his great character and generosity toward at risk youth.

On December 14, 2019 at the Los Angeles Maritime Institute’s annual Christmas and Award Ceremony, Executive Director, Captain Bruce Heyman and Captain Alice Robinson presented Naval Architect, William B. Luther a “Lifetime Achievement Award.”

He was presented with #1 print (of 200) of a watercolor titled “Rendezvous At Angel’s Gate, Twin Brigantines, Exy Johnson and Irving Johnson.” The painting, painted by Scott Kennedy, also includes a remarque in the corner titled “ To Adventure at sea and the kids” a nod to the great work done by L.A.M.I. in its efforts to help children at risk.

Bill has been a part of that program since its inception. He is L.A.M.I.’s Naval Architect and continues to work with them on ongoing projects.

We at Offshore West also want to say Thank you Bill!!!  Well Done!!!
