The Edey & Duff yard in Mattapoisett, Mass., founded in 1968 by Mait Edey and Peter Duff, has ceased operations.

The company was unable to continue after the unexpected death last December of longtime general manager Dave Davignon, Boatinglocal.com reports.

During its 42-year run, the yard turned out such sailing classics as the Sakonnet 23, the Doughdish, the Stone Horse 23, the Stuart Knockabout and the Fatty Knees dinghy, as well as the Hunt-designed Conch 27 center console.

The 2010 Stone Horse Builder's Cup race was held in Padanaram on August 15 to continue the traditional race previously hosted by Edey & Duff.
