Traditional designs are meant to be heavy and they work mush better
that way (etc etc)" so I don't expect the world to beat a path to my

I'd like to have a set of the plans, too. Are they DXF format? Could
it be scaled up or down? Do you have a construction key other than the
photo series? This isn't a complaint, the photos are better than the
ones in many "how-to" boatbuilding books.

If more sailors rowed instead of relying on outboards, there would be
fewer obese cruisers.

Better living thru chemistry... definitely sounds like a good project
for Capt JG.

Of course not, I'm really Doug. Just ask Bitty Bill... he's looked me
up in the phone book. And Jeff is really Jax, and you're really Per.
Ya can't tell the players without a program!

Better keep it locked up , Doug.

It is. After all, that's how to keep honest people honest. As for the
others, they are too busy stealing outboards to worry about a rowing-
only dinghy. And Katysails old me that Joe wanted to buy it for a
hundred bucks in the event of my demise!
