I just found out your website devoted to this fabulous dinghy... Perhaps it could be possible to add one boat, namely a 5O5 Caneton, year 1954, number 8. One of the 10 first prototypes built by Fairey Marine, according to my Uncle who sailed in the 70's in France and stopped in 1975.

Because the dinghy was deteriorating during 17 years, located in a cellar (Paris), I decided (with a friend) her recovery. After reparation and maintenance, we managed to sail in 1994 and 1995 in Normandy (France).

At the end of the summer 95, we broke our mast (wooden built of course like the entire hull ...). And since, unfortunately, we are still looking for a mast. It seems so particuliar that I'd like to ask you if you have an idea, a contact in Europe (France or UK). We already have contacted the Class in France.
