Not really, but it is very good story telling. I liked the shredded
edges on the storm warning flag. :-)

That flag looks pretty damn frayed to me. Couldn't you guys take up a
collection and buy the CG a new storm flag? Hell, I'll chip in a buck!

You know, I didn't see that flyover by the CG helicopters in the third
quarter. Around here, flyovers are scary things. That's probably why the
Redskins lost it.

The flyover was timed to create extra turbulence during a Redskins
pass. :-)

I know, we're pathetic. You guys back east go out in your 8-foot prams
under the same conditions. Rowing, of course.

Oh...is Wayne still spreading his b.s. about how impossible it was to
build and sell wood dinghies and rowboats for a couple of hundred
dollars back in the 1950s?

Harry, unless I missed it somewhere, you never got around to telling
us about the boats that you actually built *yourself*. I'm sure we
could all learn something from you about lofting, wood selection and
construction techniques.

I'm sorry, Whine. I must missed the post in which you responded to this
b.s. of yours:


"No one in the 50s or 60s could afford to build a wooden boat bigger
than 7 ft for $200, even using the cheapest materials. "


As for the boats I built myself, I built a few dinghies and skiffs on my
own, none larger than 12'. The lofting and wood selection was done by my
father and his shop people, and I used the construction techniques they
taught me. I had patterns, used the shop tools to cut the wood, and used
mostly traditional methods to assemble the pieces. Stitch and glue was
not a technique I ever saw used in the shop. All the boats had frames.

I helped out on the construction and repair of larger boats. I vaguely
recall helping out on some hull repairs on a Lyman runabout, and that it
was a real bitch because the damned hull pieces were held together with
rivets.

What boats have *you* built yourself, Whine?

My brother and I built several small wood boats when we were in high
school, one hydro, one sail boat. They both cost more than $200 even
with our free labor. I have also rebuilt several sailboats ranging
from 14 to 34 feet, and done some significant upgrade projects to
other boats I've owned.
