uh huh.


Thanks for the suggestions but for some reason I doubt Tom has spent
most of his life living on steel hulls. Even if he has, I would trust
my decisions over most others including Bruce Roberts.

If you think Bruce Roberts trumps Tom Colvin, then you're clueless.

I've never cared for Colvins layout or his hulls. All look to 70's to
to me.
Not one of his hulls has the grace of RedCloud. I think RedCloud was
modeled after a 1800's clipper hull.

Bruce Roberts has had his problems as well, but I do like his
trawlers.



... Now if you
could hook me up with Herreshoff I would pay attention to design tips.

You can email or snail mail Halsey Herreshoff but he's probably not
interested even if youo could afford him. You'd need to hold a seance to
get in touch with Nat or L. Francis; maybe the new fake Crapton is in
touch with the spirit world.

Could be, again I think RedCloud has the finest lines of any steel
hull Ive ever seen. But I have not been able to find out who buildt
her.

I posted several time on many British English sites because I found
some gear marked C. Warden Lowenstolt England but no one recalls
seeing her.

Perhaps Halsey's dad did indeed design her. I will send him a picture
and information. Do you have his e-mail address by chance?

Thanks Doug
