Classic Yachts was an American boat builder based in Chanute, Kansas.
[1][2] Heaton started out as a dealer for Laguna Yachts based in Stanton, California and for Gloucester Yachts of Newport Beach, California.
Laguna had also bought out a competitor, Coastal Recreation of Costa Mesa, California, in 1981.
He bought the molds and tooling for some of the designs and produced three of his own boats as "Classics" until a factory fire in 2000 ended the business.
