 * Keep as per Stormbay. Matt Deres (talk) 17:13, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The company may produce some very fine boats, but there is no assertion that it is an industry leader; or that it has received any substantial news coverage; or that its boats are the fastest, lightest, or something-est in the world, etc.  Therefore, fails WP:CORP.

 * Comment A company need not be an industry leader or hold a record of some kind in order to be sufficiently notable for inclusion. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 03:45, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment It appears that the mother and grandmother companies produced notable products, but that the present company ... has some problems. For instance, their website subscription has expired.  I've pulled some information together on the talk page about their Contour line of products.  I would argue that if past notability can be demonstrated, present struggles should not prejudice the production of a proper article.  My thinking from the searches I've made so far is that words on this company appear in the specialty press of yachting and trimaran racing and might not be as extensive as desired on-line. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 03:41, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * P.S. The reason why I'm not flexing the So-Fix-It muscle is that I am ignorant about boats and boating - the article should be edited by someone at least noddingly familiar with the field. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 03:43, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
