Dornier Seastar CD2, developed by the son of the original Dornier and the grandson is now looking for venture capitalists to build it in the US.  Designed for the Baltic and Oceania as a utility small airliner to provide access to islands and sections of islands with no airport but lots of water access.  Normal 9 passenger 2 crew, up to 12 passengers.  The latest seaplane designed in the world…hopefully not the last.  Seaplanes are always beautiful in their functional ugliness and romantic (as in day dreaming of adventure) by nature.
