Notes:
Kennedy built the prototype in 1939. Production, however, did not begin until 1946.
Initial builders included both Nunn and Robertson's Boatyard. However, two builders emerged who accounted for many of the future boats, these were James Kearney and Sons, East Wall who built many of the Dublin boats and DBL. DBL consisted of three prominent shipwrights Jack O’Driscoll, George Bushe and Dick Leonard working from a small stone shed in Ringaskiddy.
