Those of you who have been on rec.boats for a while may remember
Harry's nemesis, "Skipper". * The Skookum 53 is one of the boats that
Skipper lusted after from the bridge of his arm chair sailer in Derby,
Kansas.

This boat is the real thing. * I met the former owner several times
and he and his wife took great care of it, and did some really serious
cruising, including several trips to Trinidad. * It has a fuel range
of about 5,000 nautical miles and is hell for stout. * The previous
owner before that went around the Horn twice with it, and cruised it
over 50,000 NM.

I remember Skipper! He's the reason Harry made up the lie about having
a 36' Zimmerman like lobster boat!!!!!
