Does anyone know whatever happened to some of the old molds, the 32 in particular? Boats like the 65C, and 53C are timeless and it makes you wonder if they were all destroyed at some point.
Thanks

Re: Hatteras Molds
Word is they are all at the bottom of the Atlantic. Sunk for an artificial reef.

Re: Hatteras Molds
Proprietary data is included in those molds.
Even on a reef, they could be measured or even re-claimed.
I understood they were smashed up well, the usual demise for molds you don't want to deal with again.
From that they could be reef material.

Re: Hatteras Molds
I heard that when Ferretti Group bought Bertram they destroyed all blueprints and data . I have all my grey box items, but it would be nice if a database is established before all is gone .

Re: Hatteras Molds
I wrote in another thread, but I am interested in a newer copy of my boats documents, etc.
No grey box here, although I do have most of the original, somewhat work out blue prints, etc…
Who exactly should I contact?
