Keep up the good work.<\/p>\n<p>A quick question, based on information in the above mentioned book and on your website, I was under the impression the &#8220;Deerfoot&#8221; name designation was yours. However, I have just come across a Deerfoot 50 (s\/v Privatus) that is said to be designed by Ulf Rogeberg and built by Hinkley, Lange &#038; Son. Any explanation or information you or your staff can provide about other &#8220;Deerfoots&#8221; would be appreciated. Regards, Roy <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p>Hi Roy: We sold the Deerfoot business in 1986. &#8220;Privatus&#8221; was designed by Ulf, as you&#8217;ve indicated, and Ulf&#8217;s a fine designer. However, we had no involvement with the boat, so I cannot comment on it technically (have never even seen photos of it). <\/p>\n<p>What I&#8217;ve heard is that the project started out in the Pacific Northwest, then got into trouble and the boat\/molds, etc. were shipped back to Hinkley for completion. I&#8217;m not sure how accurate this data is.<\/p>\n<p>I would judge the boat on its own merits, aside from any &#8220;labels&#8221; which don&#8217;t mean much anyway.
