I realize that this is an old post but my brother and I went to Camp Tonset back in the 50's. We built the models. If I remember correctly the designs were: Pup, Fatso, 24, 32 and the big guy was the 44. Some campers had the option of building as a mast head rig or a gaff rig. I still have my 24 gaff rig and my brothers mast head rig 24. I also built a surf casting rod there out of Tonkin Bamboo. If my memory serves we bought the raw materials at a store called "Goose Hummock" in Orleans right near the "Dairy Queen". My rod was 9' with a Penn Yan casting reel. At that time the Camp had a "Camp" on Nauset Beach we would drive there in the "Weapons Carrier" for overnights. The favorite movie at Camp was "Sahara" with Humphrey Bogart. We had to watch it every summer. A younger brother went in the '60s. A really great camp!
