The latest pictures of Sea Glass may motivate some manufacturer to start producing these beauties again. Does anyone know if the mold still exists?

On the Lazarette subject:
My lazarette bulkhead has a couple small holes related to plumbing and electrics. I was going to guess that's a previous owner's alteration to A-414. It probably helps lighten the stern a bit. Wouldn't be a good idea for the outboard folks.
On the "why don't we start production" subject:
With the exception of the Ensign, the 60's vintage pearson molds are gone (although a new mold could be pulled off a vintage hull). The Ensign is still in limited production by Ensign Spars.
there are other options for surviving molds for close cousins (Cape Dory relatives)...

Mike, your yacht is something else! Can't wait to see it put back together.
If some manufacturer would start making them again, that new Ariel / Commander would fetch a pretty penny. Any guess-timates? $35-40k?

Thanks Kyle! I'm hoping to make it up to Tim's next week to help him reinstall the dead lights and whatever else I can manage. I'm really really looking forward to seeing things put back together too! I can't wait to get sailing again. It was a long Summer last year...
