Wink Yacht Builders List

Why not make a list of defunct [out of business] sailboat manufacturers?
Most older [1970's] boats have no more info on them and sailors would like to know a little of the company history and the boats who designed them and such.
Also, get those darn catamarans off this current list.
Where does a sailor get more info on older boats that are no longer in production [previous to 1986] after which so many boat builders went under?

Thanks

SJ2R...many "orphan brands" have owners groups and/or e-mail lists.

1. Google "O'day Owners" "Irwin Owners" etc. to find those sites.
2. Go into the boat e-mail lists HERE under Resources/Mail lists and search for your boat.

I actually second the idea... the orphan deal at least... its one thing to be the biggest sail owner resource owner on the net and the other to to just shunt the less prominent designs... go all in...

This might have been stated but "Good old boat" has lists of contacts for many now non-existant builders and models.

Great work, but I think you need a footnote if you are listing ship builders as opposed to brands.

Alieron/Alieron Express
J Boats
(as well as Freedom plus some Aldens and Jeanneau)

All built under contract by Tillotson-Pearson, TPI, Tillotson Composites or now Pearson Composites as they have been known.
