Thank you for those interesting details Rob. I've always wondered about the makers of the sails that came in my boat's inventory (C&C 30 MK I hull #7, built September 1972). Thanks to your comment I now know about Hood Sails and Ed Botterell. I've got a #1 genoa (~165%) and a storm jib from Hood Sails. I've also got a working jib and a short (spinnaker pole topping lift) staysail from Boston Sails presumably of Sarnia, Ontario ( http://www.doyleboston.com/about.html ).
Was it common for early C&Cs to be fitted with sails from those Lake Ontario -area sailmakers? Anyone ever heard of a sailmaker named "Irish"? (that's the logo on my mainsail, which according to the year stamped on its sail bag was made in 1982).

Violeta, One of the photos from Martin's link is quite historic (they are all historic, of course, but one more than the others). See attached. It shows Blair Vedder (owner), Erich Bruckmann (builder), Mark Ellis (C&C custom sales), and Ed Botterell (Hood sialimaker). I wish I had a higher resolution copy of this photo. Rob Mazza
