Oz, thanks for filling in some missing info about the later history of the Dirigo. I knew that the two original founders/owners/builders in Blue Hill, Maine, sold the business to somebody (I always remembered the name as Mike Wigglesworth) in the midwest--but I couldn't remember where. You've supplied the location at last--Wichita, Kansas. Many thanks. Did you have any interaction with the Kansas owner? And any stories to tell?

Just returned today myself from a fine, fine daytrip in my Dirigo, exploring the marshes, islands and shorelines of Barnegat Inlet here in New Jersey.
