Also, I will be cooking for a client on his 60' Power :( catamaran April 29-May 29th, I would like to know who is in that area with a 17 and/or 23 and should I have free time, would be up for a sail in exchange for gourmet food! Happy Spring! Chef Theo M23 #26 Sails Increase

Sounds like a fun trip. I don't suppose a guy whose cooking skills are pretty much limited to toast and microwave popcorn could get a job like that, could he? Doesn't look like my schedule will work with yours for getting in a sail, as I live on the east side of Washington, near Idaho. Maybe one of the Puget Sound area boaters...... ?

If you write to him he might make a copy of his manuscript and mail it to you, or write Bob Hicks and see if he has those back issues available. Connie Robb White is certainly a wellspring of information; I always enjoy his articles. About the only thing I disagree with him on is the use of plywood for boatbuilding! I particularly enjoyed a treatise of his on the use of domestic boatbuilding woods, published about a year ago. After your post I read Bolger's chapter on Cartopper in "Boats with an Open Mind". It is a charming boat, a good alternative to the gorgeous, capable, very expensive Melonseed. However, competition for the Next Boat awards got settled last night: I'm going to build Milkweed, a new design. I was noodling over the design of a one sheet (as in one plywood sheet) boat yesterday afternoon when in a fit of procrastination I decided to make a model. My vocation is design, so printing out a scale model of the mould and chine layout was easy. The finished model is a 7' 4" dory/sharpie/canoe/whatchyoumakallit with a 2' 6" beam. I imagine it will be cranky with me in it, since my weight will put it below recommended sharpie waterlines, but my youngest daughter is entranced, and it should float her very well. I have a nice piece of luan nailed to the back of my office, just waiting to be used. I think I'll try building it with strictly hardware store stuff. Wish me luck! Steve
