I've been a junior yacht designer three times in two lifetimes.

So what was there for a junior yacht designer to do?

Yesterday, he told himself firmly, I was a yacht designer driving back from Maryland.

Viewed this way, he could be very proud of being eternally and forever a junior yacht designer.

His job as Master Boatwright came to bear an uncanny resemblance to his past jobs as junior yacht designer.

It seemed obvious to him now that nature had intended him to be a junior yacht designer, nothing more nor less.

But he decided against it simply by picturing a yacht designer from 1806 walking into an office in 1958.

Now he was returning to New York, to his job as a junior yacht designer for the famous old firm of Mattison & Peters.

But there were so many yacht designers, so few customers.
