Seeking info on Omni

To the Editor

With my son and another partner, we own the Davidson 55 Omni. We know it was launched in 1986. We think its build was started by McGaffin Yachts, after Emotional Rescue’s launch. Following Rob McGaffin’s death, we think it was completed by Tony Ruiterman, for a company called Comvrey.

We wonder if any of your readers can confirm this scanty information or have any more information on Omni.
