A Brief History of Yacht Constructors, Inc., Cascade Yachts, Inc., Cascade Yacht Builders, LLC, and finally the current Cascade Yacht Works, LLC In 1954, Tom Green, Merle Starr, Wade Cornwell, Jarvis Gould and Henry Morton decided to use a new material called fiberglass to build large sailboat hulls. To prove the strength of this composite material a sample was laid-up and tested for strength. The final test was done by shooting bullets from different fire arms at it from a 10 foot range. This “bullet proof” sample is still with us. They started the company by the name of Yacht Constructors and they decided to build the 34‘ sloop “Vigilant” designed by Frederick Geiger of Yacht Sales & Service in Philadelphia, PA. Cascade became Cascade Yacht Builders, LLC. Cascade operated in parallel with Chinook Composites building an assortment of fiberglass parts and small boats. In 2007 Cascade's assets were purchased by Russell and Mark Mead. Cascade was moved to Warrenton, OR from the long-time location in Portland. The 36' trawler was redesigned and new tooling built. It was named the CT 36 (for Cascade Trawler 36). Construction was also changed to utilize only Epoxy resins.
