I like 6m Goose also. In fact, I like the name also.
Last year I was thinking about picking up a second
old Etchells and restoring it. The name Goose came
to mind at the time.

Did you see the US 108 St. Francis VII? a pretty
ligher, GRP 6M, with some history behind it.

Here is a copy of an article in Latitude 38
in tribute to Gary Mull, it's designer.

Oh yes. Beautiful boat. I have a big book of S&S designs that I take
down and contemplate from time to time. The 6-meter 'Goose' is one of my
favorites, too.
