Norman and his brothers started and operated the Owens Yacht Company. Norman was a naval architect who designed both powerboats and sailboats. The Owens Cutter is one of his designs, but he also designed in the 5.5 Metre Class and 2 Ton Class. He was an active Regatta sailor, winning many races over the years.

Eric Stockinger reports on the relaunch of "Lyric" after a complete rebuild to original configuration. First races have been sailed on local waters (Mainsail showing 72 of "Cloud IX"?) and the boat will serve as flagship boat for the yard. Boat & Crew are looking forward to join other 5.5's, racing on the East Coast.
