1. The Marketplace Forums can be useful for members who know one another well from forum discussions and offline communications and wish to post boatbuilding tools, drafting tools, molds and tooling, and other professional equipment for sale or trade. However, caution and good judgement should always be used. Especially when considering any business with anyone not already well known to you and trusted, due diligence must be used to confirm details and identity and be sure the transaction is safe before any money or property changes hands. Always use good judgement and perform due dilligence and follow these guidelines.

    I don't remember all the details, hoping someone here might.

    Back in the early 1960's my uncle, Bill Sangster, built a 28ft sloop in his carport in Santa Barbara, Ca. It had a full keel with attached rudder. Tiller steering, inboard engine. He made a deal with a boat builder. It was either he would design a boat for them or pay for the making of the mold of an existing design if he and a friend got the first 2 hulls out of the mold.

    My uncle passed away several years ago and I've lost track of the rest of his family. Any details that anybody has concering the type of boat or the real story would be greatly appreciated. I have fond memories of my only sail in "Heather" in the summer of 1970.
