Hi John,
I passed your website along to Howard last week. I plan to call him over the weekend and I will pass your comments and contact info along to him. He has quite a collection of useful info on Hughes Boatworks and some of the original engineering drawing etc. My first sailboat was a Hughes 22 in the 70s then a Mirage 27 in the 80s now I am playing with a Morgan OI 37. In any case I will see what I can do to connect you.

he can either reach me by my contact on my website or by my personal email

When I get back to Canada I will let him know. He is a very private individual but he has a ton of info and stuff that he has shared. Anything in particular you need?
In the meantime I will pass your site address along to Howard.
Good Luck!

Hello Jon,
