The Milwaukee Community Sailing Center, a 501c3 not-for profit organization, has something like 25 Ensigns, their most popular boat in a fleet of 60. Members have no-charge access to the fleet after they successfully demonstrate basic sailing skills and earn a rating. These Ensigns therefore get a pretty good workout on Lake Michigan, proving the robust construction that Pearson put in to them.
While kicking around the MCSC yard, I noticed a unique stemhead on hull 454, a boat that hasn't been in the water for at least 20 years (it shows). I suspect there is a story behind the stemhead somewhere, but no one here is aware of it.
