Fascinating. Probably for the better. C&C had a plant in Rhode Island under the original Canadian company. My boat was built there. These are the builders of Alerion. I wonder if this is Tillerston Pearson who made the J boats and how C&C will fit in. Sounds encouraging though as Fairport was a dead end for C&C. Jerry.
