Default Heart of Gold

There is a boat of that name owned by real sailor's Jim &
Sue Corenman--a Schumacher 50. That couple became very
well known for circumnavigated the Pacific in 1997. They are
among the most respected of sailors on the West coast for
several reasons.

Jim Corenman wrote Sailmail and also, I think,Winlink,
both popular SSB email software programs, the former
a commercial not for profit system, the later for HAM use.

Both programs use the German made Pactor radio modems
for compression, error detection, and as the radio interface.
BTW work is underway by a third party to eliminate the very
expensive Pactor modems via software and computer sound
card interfaces.

While I do not know the Corenman's personally, I hold them
and their boat, HEART OF GOLD, in high regard. As do
most West coast sailors.

Here is a link to a picture of their boat.
