Tartan, which includes C&C, Sabre, Hinckley, J-Boats, Shannon, Caliber,
Island Packet, Pacific Seacraft, if I'm not mistaken, TPI, (Pearson)
mainly makes hulls for others, Com-Pac, Seaward, West Wight Potter,
Precision, and various dinghy manufacturers.


I think that Pac. Sea Craft are now making their hulls 'off shore'. I know
their large trawler is.

Although I haven't heard of any recent production, I think Cascade Yacht
is still in business.. About 10 years ago they took over the Building and
sales of a couple nice Jay Benford designs. Marketed as "Cascade
Classics".

PS was bought out by a group of Asian investors a while back, wouldn't be
surprised if they took production to Taiwan. Should have mentioned the
botique builders like Morris, Robinhood, and Little Harbor. And one other
important fact, a lot of those Taiwnese boats were designed by American
na's, can't say the same for the European boats.
