Yippeee!! A new toy to try out! Looks good, Doug.


Thanks. You're signing on for the trial voyage, right? I already have
the oars.

If I had more time, I'd complete a sailing rig for it, but I'm losing my
work shop next week.

You betcha....I'm game...

Looking good Doug,

Thank you!

... how many horses do you suppose you could hang on the
transom, I want to go water-skiing!


Hmm, the bouyancy calculation went up to 650 lbs... that
means it should easily hold one of JimC's 70hp outboards...

Those two pictures aren't the best to tell much of anything. Maybe basic shape.
It's all splotchy and dull. It's shaped like a Dyer but maybe no chine there. But it's
hard to see if there's a chine because the pictures are dull or the hull is dull and
splotchy. So gimme a break, please....

Cheers,

Without the Mac I suppose... in that case it isn't a sailboat.

Maybe, maybe not. Let me know what your eyeglass
prescription is when you get to be my age.

They do if you know what to look for.

... Maybe basic shape.

Which is one of the most important things about a boat, no?

It's all splotchy and dull.

Correct. But then, it's not finished yet. Besides, that's
only on the surface. Superficial, you know?

Good! My boat does not have a chine. This is an important
observation.

Give you break? You make remarks without observing first,
and then demand respect for your uninformed opinions? I *am*
giving you a break, I am helping you learn better.

That ought to do it, probably sail better with a bedsheet, broomstick
and canoe paddles for leeboards than Jim's too!

Of course, but I wasn't going to gloat.

Not at all. I am holding you to a somewhat higher standard.
Builds character.
