Dragon Boat class paddles
As with most sports equipment is closely controled and the Dragon Boat Racing class is no different.
We ( means me) have made hundreds of such paddles, working with a genuine one sent in from Hong Kong and the measurements page.
Recently the last of the original Old Mutual sponsered paddles have been spruced up and sold at a good price.

There are just two more left, they need some TLC and repairs but once fixed and primed coated in a twin pack paint they will be good to go again.
Any more would need to be made from scratch and at todays pricing.

Mar Casado Class Design 696
This is an interesting little boat. The design is based on the lines of Temperance (design #387) which was in turn based on the lines of Nugget (design #172) but is scaled down to 25' overall length. This version however is a flush decker. Here's an article from Yachting magazine from 1947. I apologize that it's not a very good copy.
As the article states the first bunch of boats were built in South America, but later various other builders produced these boats such as Derecktor Shipyards of New York.
Here is the sail plan.
This looks like a one page handout about the design.
Please note the very last line on this handout: Alternate plans available showing dog house with full headroom under. Here's an image of that arrangement. To me this then is in essence the Temperance design on a smaller scale.
