Ptiloris is owned by Dave Snediker, of the well-reputed restoration firm of Taylor & Snediker in Pawcatuck, CT. Dave got her from Adrian Pearsall, then-owner of the NY 30 Amorita, in about 1995. She is waiting a restoration. Ptiloris was at one time owned by Ed Cabot, concurrently with Elf. Roger Taylor’s Still More Good Boats has a discussion of her
