Thanks for the compliments. It was fun to watch the boat in action, I
have not had that perspective before.

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!

If anybody wants to copy this dinghy, I will be glad to send them the
plans and the table of offsets. However, when discussing it over on
rec-boats-building, there was little or no interest other than a few
cranks who said "Why bother to build a light weight dinghy?
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
door.
