Re: Trouble at PDQ ??
If Pearson acquired the molds for the PDQ Powercat and Rob Poirier & Team acquired the Antares 44, does anyone know who has the PDQ 36 Capella drawings & molds?

Re: Trouble at PDQ ??
At the Newport show (Sept '07) Simon told me that the PDQ 36 molds were destroyed, as it would cost too much to store them. When I asked "what if you (or someone else) want to make some more 36's?" he said that if anyone wanted to do a 36 nowadays, they would start with a fresh design and mold. I offered to let him splash a mold from mine, but he said it would have to be turned up-side-down to do that. I suggested it would be the only way to clean it out!

Here's a fantasy solution: Splash the last 36, David's "36 lite" and build a few resin infused daggerboard boats! (with a place to store a spare board and rudder )
