La Prairie ZEF, Pearson 32, Dixie Boat & 16' Hobie Cat

This is a restored version of a French sailing skiff that I bought a number of years ago and have restored recently. From all I can gather this boat was built in the 1960's from the hull #. This version has the full wood deck and later versions were fiberglass and wood combinations eventually going to all fiberglass before production stopped in the early 1980's. If anyone has one or can provide more info I'd LOVE to hear from you. I've got some data to share and have taken the close up pics for all those that have asked or sent me info.

The Pearson 32 is the same model of the first "big boat" that I ever handled. The 21' Dixie was one I had Melvin Little build for me 2 years before he closed Dixie down pretty much for good. The 16' Hobie Cat was one I had when we spent our summers at the beach in 1981 & 1982. That boat was the most fun sail boat I've ever owned (so far)! Right now I no longer have any of these boats, but as any sailor knows that is just a temporary condition!
