John,

You're absolutely correct. Lapworth never was associated with Columbia
or Coronado. Tripp was the Coronados designer. He tried to go Lapworth
one better with the Coronado for a boat for the Masses but it never came
near CAL for performance.

Simple is off on another attempt to make his "Banana Boat" something it
will never be. It was an inexpensive vessel but is under powered, sail
wise. He knows it but can't except it. It is SLOW.
