Roger, I sure hope this isn't one of yours.

When it comes to designing boats I don't think Roger skimps and takes
shortcuts. I also don't think Roger is a self promoter. Roger listens to
others idea intently, is open to criticism and is comfortable discussing his
work. His love of his work and decades of experience speak strongly to the
quality of his work. To even think that he designed a vessel that would
break up after six weeks is an insult. Shame on you!


Ah, what a hilarious dose of self-rightous indignation. Well, I hope
Roger took it in the spirit it was intended. I knew it wasn't one of
his boats.

It is an interesting one nonetheless. And I still think they should
have pulled up stakes and came into shelter for that storm. They were
only 14 miles out and had days of warning.
