32nd Parallel subs
I know 32nd Parallel as a model company is no longer. I once had a very early example of their type VIIc build either by or for 32nd Parallel themslves. It had a multi piece aluminum deck, functional schnorkel and functional ballast tanks. I ran it for quite a few years at the SFMYC club's Spreckels lake in Golden Gate Park until I sold it in the early 1990s to a chap as I recall on the east coast. I also had a Gato Class hull
( 9 feet 9 " !!) but I never built it and sold it about the same time. Neither my type VII OR the Gato hull had ever been cut; they had been brought up from the factory directly at one point. From time to time I wonder what became of these models but I have no strong regrets for selling them as it was the right thing to do at the time. The club had changed and I lost interest in boats although lately interest has stirred a bit...
If I ever come across a decent 32nd p type VIIc I may be tempted....
What bacame of 32nd Parallel themselves? Why did they stop production; they had quite an interesting product line.
Any input?
Thanks,
