Thriving Groups. California's Jesus People, who started the whole movement, are not seen on the streets much any more, but many of the earliest groups still thrive. Chuck Smith's Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, which has six touring bands, had to put up a tent for the overflow crowds, then an auditorium that holds 2,000.

The latest incarnation, the West-sail 32, is a roomy, teak and fiber-glass version built in Costa Mesa, Calif., by a young refugee from electrical engineering named Snider Vick. With his small production line and a fierce de votion to quality, Vick is determined to give fits to competitors whom he calls "the plastic pop-out people"-the mass producers of lightly built fiber-glass boats, few of which...
