Jerome,
At the end of that letter, Mr. Carroll mentioned being in a booth near the
Moorings: what show is he referring too?

Hi Jerome,
My name is Barry Carroll and I have been asked to relaunch the C&C brand by
my old friend Randy Borges (Dunes). I started in the boat building industry
working for Everett Pearson when the 100,000 sf building we are now in was new,
and I was very young! I then went on to work for C&C Yachts for nine years. I
was based out of the Rhode Island facility, but I had the privilege to work
with all the 'Georges' Cassian, Cutrhbertson, and Hinterholler. I was so
fortunate to be exposed to the highest level of professionalism, craftsmanship
and design talent at a very early age. They overlooked the mistakes & cockiness
of a 24 year old and George Cuthbertson, Rob Mazza, and Rob Ball are friends
30+ years later. I went on to found and run Carroll Marine for the next 20
years. We always had a North Star to follow, because my, and many of my
employees, past relationship with C&C and its standards.
The Hallmark of C&C was leading edge design from a very talented, perhaps
visionary group of designers. That was consistently backed up by beautifully
rendered boats that were excellent value for money. Dunes has assembled a very
highly skilled workforce from the best of the team at TPI, and several old
friends from C&C. We are putting the band back together with an experienced,
skillful bunch of old friends, and a management group that loves sailing and
competition. That alone was enough for me to come in off the bench. The
clincher is that Mark Mills has agreed to come on board to design an entirely
new line of C&C's. He is not only one of the world's leading edge designers
with a fabulous 'eye' for just the right line (like George Cassian), but he too
is a close friend who is a pleasure to work with. There is sure to be some
yelling, a few battles, and maybe even an impolite word or two, it is
boatbuilding after all: but I am having a great time working my tail off
getting this thing launched.
As Sarah said, we'll be at the USWatercraft / Waterlines booth on the far
Northeast corner of the show near the Moorings. Please stop by and see what we
are doing. Development is well along on two very exciting new boats with a
third not far off. Come on by and introduce yourself, I look forward to it.
Cheers,
Barry Carroll
