Gary, you should try to find out about whether the original molds still exist. The last Dirigos were made somewhere in your neck of the woods (Iowa, maybe? Missouri?), as I remember, by a guy named Wigglesworth (I think) who had a pre-existing fiberglass business of some kind, and who wanted to branch out. So he got the molds from the original Dirigo people in Blue Hill, Maine. I've tried getting something via a Google search, but no luck. The final photos used in Dirigo ads showed Wigglesworth paddling along what could easily be a Missouri river shoreline.
