They are building boats again (and taking orders) in Washington North Carolina. Molds and tooling are being shipped from Fullerton except Dana 24 molds which went to Oregon I think. New owners are very enthusiastic, made a terrific impression on industry and public at US Sailboat Show last week. Dealer network remains basically intact.

Hull and deck of a new PS31 are complete, new 40 and new 37 to follow. Bill Crealock had a lot to do with the sale of the company to this particular individual, Mr. Brodie, who attended the auction not expecting to land the big prize but hopeful. He got it. Hooray for Bill...

Allan Poole is gone from the scene.

Saga molds and assets have been split off and I am not sure exactly what is next for them. I believe new ownership of the company is Canadian.

It is going to take a little while for the new PS to get cranked up especially marketing so don't expect wild publicity campaigns or a fancy website just yet...but the new owner is the real deal so PS owners you can exhale now. They have leased factory space in Washington NC which has a good pool of local building talent.
