Paul Schreck Sail makers question

Submitted by stillnlearning on Tue, 07/05/2011 - 21:52
When I took possession of my FS, it came with two sets of sails. One of them is “Paul Schreck & Co., Sail makers, Lillian, Al. I did a search for this company and came up empty. Does anyone have any information on these sail makers? Thank you, New owner of a very old FS.

I am new enough to the Scot (2005), but Paul was apparently quit

I am new enough to the Scot (2005), but Paul was apparently quite well known in the class and an accomplished racer. The 50th Anniversary Scots and Water had stories from the first 50 years of the Scot and I think they had a reproduction of a Shreck sails advertisement. Before Gus, Mad, North, Quantum, Dieball, you had Boston, Shreck, Fisher, Fowler, Schurr all very active in the class. Good sailmakers, also move around. Greg Fisher went to North, Dieball was at Quantum and now has his own brand. These guys also happen to be phenomenal sailors in most cases. Can any class veterans who knew Paul chime in?
