I haven't built a boat since the Gull, but I can appreciate the effort
you put into it.

Most excellent Doug - most excellent.

Absolutely. It is difficult to appreciate the skill, effort and
workmanship required to build even a small boat until you have tried
it yourself.

Glenn Ashmore is one of my heros. He's been working on a 40 something
cruising sailboat since my first days on the internet back in the
early to mid 90s.
