If you do also recall, we had a further conversation in the e-mail and I
detailed what goes into my designs/plans. You said "Oh well I feel
better knowing that". Or something to that effect.

Yes I have a couple friends who are naval desingers, one for the Dutch
Navy, and I get their opinions. But I bring my own qualifications as
engineer and my 20+ years paddling. Building prototypes, of which I've
done and are on the web site, doesn't prove much of anything. There's a
lot more that goes into it. There are rules, formulas, some pretty
heafty spreadsheets, and common sense. Building someting doesn't qualify
it as safe.

Me engaging you in any sort of conversation won't lead to anything
useful for anyone. So I'll just pass.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion as we all are. Someone may
have the same opinion of you.

I encourage you to try to frame you future input in a more constructive
manner. People will respect you more because of it. Perhaps when you see
my name as the poster, you can just skip on over the message. Give you
less stress.

Best of luck to you.

so augh .... waddya trying to say?

thanks for the input.


What I am saying is you are like the last spammer that came to this
group with cad drawings of untested boats (internet cartoons)... I
guess it is time for me to leave this group to you all. After all,
several such as Spira, Jaques, etc, have made it real big on the
internet by putting out cad drawings and having folks build the
prototypes, many times providing photos that can be used as sales
tools means a kickback on the plans. Some even spent countless hours
pounding the search engines, but at least he had some real credentials
and represented established designers. You told me you "run you plans
by" some friend that works at a design corp. I told you the first time
you contacted me and asked if I would put a link to you on my site
that I felt what you were doing was irresponsible. I guess I just
can't operate like that. I leave this group to the plan hawkers and
agenda drivers... Skcusemans has always been close to me but now I
realize why there may indeed be a need for orginazations such as
sname. Skcusemans is dead... If anyone is interested in unbiased help
or plans for boats that have actually been built and tested, you all
know where to find me.
