I have _heard_ that Pacific Seacraft was sold to a Japanese company. For sure
it was common knowledge that 3 or 4 or 5 years ago PS was on the edge of
insolvency. I most casually mentioned it in passing to a counter hostess at
the PS display at the Annapolis boat show and draw an unbelievably sharp
response.

This may be related -- Pacific Seacraft had been making the Nordhavn
trawlers in Fullerton, but Nordhavn recently took the production of the
trawlers elsewhere (some or all of them, I'm not sure). Pacific Seacraft
also has their own trawler line. I don't know a lot about them, since I'm a
sailboat freak myself, but I did see some of each under construction when I
visited there.

I wish I could lay my hands on that information but what I came across
was
was a Pachific Seacraft that was for sail.. (I review a hundred listing
a
month, when I don't have anything better to do.) It was touted as Hull
#1
(first out of the mold) prior to the mold being shipped over to Tiawan
for
the ultimate production run..


This may refer to one of the trawlers (Nordhaven 40?) rather than
the sailboats. I'm pretty sure the sailboats are still built and
finished in Fullerton.
