Ancient History

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.
