I read that the mold for the early 29 was taken off a wooden boat and the lines in the hull were left in the new mold. I found the story somewhere out there in internet land. The boat next to mine in Homer Harbor is a '66 Islander 29. Does yours have lines like a wooden boat?

Not at all true. I owned Columbia 29 #3 built in 1961 for many years and am privy to quite a bit of the history as a result of researching this boat. PM me with your email if you want me to send some of the letters I have.
