TOPIC: New Update - Flying Finn

Thanks to the generous contribution of an individual, we now have a history and the 1956 and 1957 brochures for Flying Finn boats. Also added are ads for '58, '59, miscellaneous original photos, and an article from 1959:

Thank you to all the contributors to the FiberGlassics Library for their time and effort. Their efforts and dedication help preserve and share the history of these old boats.

Great stuff! Nice to get the personal connection.

Minor errors regarding his text about Thompson Boat Co. at Cortland, NY. They were purchased by Chris-Craft in 1962 (not 1969) and they made their first fiberglass boats in 1963 (not 1965).

Thanks for the corrections! I went ahead and revised the dates.

Amazing how people keep coming forward, looking to share the history of a company their fathers, grandfathers, uncles, or whomever had a part in. Really was a great period of entrepreneurship and industry when people took initiative and risked their time and money to make something happen.
