Two dinghies currently in the shop in need of repair are an 8' Penn Yan aerodinghy and a 9' Old Town dinghy. Both will be canvas covered when completed. The Penn Yan is a 1954 model that has had many alterations. The serial number on the OT is not discernible, but based on its construction it was likely built between 1948 and 1950. It had "Christmas tree" written on the inside of the transom in gold leaf. It looked like a factory job, but so far I haven't been able to find the build record.
