This from CYGNUS owner ‘barklakemike’:
“George Hinterhoeller in Niagara actually designed and built the first the HR 20 as he called it, in 1963…. A class association formed in 1965 or 66 and the boat was renamed the Cygnus class. [Another early builder of the CYGNUS was Clarkecraft of St Catharines, Ontario].
The tooling was sold to Skene in Ottawa, (who also made Albacores); when Hinterhoeller became one of three boatbuilders (including Morch in Belleville and Bruckmann in Oakville) who combined forces to make up the manufacturing side of the new C and C yachts. …the Cygnus was available with either a fixed cast iron keel and 2 ft 9 in draft, or with a fully retracting steel centerboard, when it weighed only 600 lbs.”
Displacement for keel version: 950 lbs.

The FIGARO SOLO, the FIRST 310 , the FIRST 31.7, the OCEANIS 300, and OCEANIS CLIPPER 311 have shared origins.
Introduced just as the Sailstar line was being retired so few were built. (probably less than 20?)
Thanks to Mark Spruell for providing photo.
