Ostwind the Nazi yacht tied to uncertain future and repairs
The Ostwind, an 85 foot mahogany yacht built in 1938 for Adolf Hitler, has not sailed in three years. Now owned by retired Navy commander John Lyman, it needs about $10,000 in repairs and may be sold. The vessel, seized by the U.S. Navy after World War II, was briefly used as a flag yacht and a submarine net tender before changing hands in 1950 for $2,500.
