Default What happened to the PDQ Yacht Forum

Howdy all . . . I am not sure if anyone here has an interest in the
boats that PDQ builds, but the forum that PDQ owners corresponded on
seems to have either been shut down, or access has been restricted.
Anyone know what might have happened to the forum, and do you have any
suggestions for gaining access for us (hoping I am not the only one)
PDQ skipper-wannabes?


The rumor is correct - PDQ has suspended operations. The way I heard
it, the drop in the US dollar against the Canadian did not help. They
where showing some very spiffy powercats (my wife loved the new 41) plus
the 44 sailing cat, but the prices were just too high to attract enough
new business. I heard they were trying to get some new funding so they
may rise again.

As for the forum, either the old one will be reborn (desirable and
likely), or the boat owners will create a new one. If any owners are
interested in participating, send me an email at "jeff at sv-loki dot
com" and I'll pass your name on to those keeping the list.
