The Molds

I think smh knows, I seem to recall the last molds were sold off to a private guy who was going to start building again, but that fizzled out?

For what it's worth, or as a starting point:

"In 1973, J.J. Taylor president, Alan Nye Scott, had a Rogers-built hull and deck shipped from Britain so that Taylors could produce a set of molds for Canadian production."

And here's something curious from Transport Canada website:

It looks like the above is a sailboat still being built by the Nye yare??  Maybe they know something?  That's where it all started, but I have read so much about molds burning, being seized, held for ransom, etc...that I can't rightly recall where the JJT ones went.

Ok, that's my detective work for the moment!  Back to work!
