Info... WeeSort sailboat
 
Does anyone know who the manufacturer of the WeeSort was? Or have any
info on the boat itself? Or know where plans could be had (not esp.
looking for free plans but I won't complain if they are)? Anyone have a
pic of one?

It was a small 12' sloop rig dagerboard boat. I used to sail one in the
'60s.

I only found two Google hits:
http://www.sailing.ca/competitive/ma...01numbers.shtm and
http://www.paceship.org/Stories/RJoh..._paceships.htm. Both
mention WeeSorts, but have nothing to say about them.

Struck out, I did.

Thanks Rick. Just a whim... a case of nostalgia. I came up with the
same on all the search engines I tried.

Try the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, I think they build several for
sail training. http://www.cbmm.org/

They were built at Indian Landing Boat Club on the Severn River. Members of the Boat Club built them in their basements. I believe one of the families who built them were the Deirdorffs.
