The Cub Sloop was designed by William Nightingale and built by Olympic Boat Co.in the Ballard area of Seattle, WA in the mid-20th century.
This Cub gets a new mast at Rick Johnson’s shop in Toledo, Oregon - 2008. Based on the popular Star one-design, the Cub is a responsive and fast knockabout.
With a 40 foot mast on a 23 foot boat, what might you expect? Here we see the shipwright himself, with crew, fitting new standing rigging to the gorgeous, clear spruce, hollow box mast constructed by Rick.

The Cub sloop was designed by Wm. Nightingale and built by Olympic Boat Co. of Seattle (not Blanchard) in the 1950's. I am a former Cub owner (#32) and know it well. I am also a retired Seattle boatbuilder and long time associate of The Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle (cwb.org) where we have a complete set of Cub plans. I am currently looking for an old Cub for possible restoration and addition to our collection. Your's is a sharp looking redo and it's nice to see one still in good shape and I'd like to know more. And if I can provide any more information for you, please let me know.
