Lin (born 1944 in Detroit, Michigan) was awarded the Geoff Pack award by the Ocean Cruising Club in 2001 and they both received the SSCA Service Award in 2004. They currently race a 110 year old cutter in New Zealand but still cruise on board their cutter Taleisin part of each year.

The patterns will be used for education programs at the Center by the [http://www.arqueschl.org Arques School of Traditional Boatbuilding] and loaned to others who wish to have parts cast.
