Richard, word (the internet) has it that they went out of business after building 4 of them. Looking further into it though I found out that the company is still around. They aren't building yachts anymore however, they're a fibreglass company and I think they still make dinghies among other things, like the pitching mound at the Rogers (SKYDOME) centre here in Toronto for example. If I remember correctly anyway.
