Jacques David is in the list a ways down.

I guess what happened to velvet is it grew up and became velcro.

Me Paw almos bot hisself a mystic cruiser in the 60's. He decided to build instead, as he thot it was easy. We built a 20 foot day cruiser version of a lightning with lightning sails. It was OK and we cruised it on G-Bay for a few years. Had to hike it a bit as it had no keel.

Loved those Mystics. Saw a few of them on the Lakes. A Folkboat is nicer in looks, and handles well, but hard to build with the curves and all.

Later he built a ferro-cement boat of 40 feet in length. Standing headroom from cuddy to bow, presto style Ketch, internal ballast, center board, very fast despite its weight. Sailed that on the lakes for about 6 years or more. After he died me bro trashed it out as he did not want to sail it and could not afford the maintentance. It would cost 250 large to duplicate it today.
