Joe... I'm sitting back and listing to you go on and on about not being able
to complete all these projects. And all the time I've got this old dodger I've
taken apart and used as a pattern for the new dodger I sewed up last winter.
The reason I'm holding back is... I'm not sure I want to be labeled an
enabler. And I'm thinking I agree with Russ ... I'm not sure you've you have
thought it through.

 If not, I suggest you do before you spend too much time on a hard one.  My
soft dodger is sometimes in the way, and I un hook, and flop it atop the
cabin.  It's easier to get forward in a hurry, easier to get around for
docking, and sail handeling in general.  Almost always have it down for
racing.  Less windage, more open, easier to move around.) 

On the other hand it is the christmas season and I don't want to be labled a
grinch. So tell me Joe... Have you been a good Alberger?

Seasons Greetings- Greg

You'll get to decide for yourself. An article for the Mainsheet is
forthcoming I hope in a  few months - maybe on my website sooner. I know I
have been promising this for nearly a year and half, but since I can't keep
my attention on any one of the fifty projects I have going--I can't
complete anything to write an article. Ahhh-the price of creativity!! I
will keep you all posted. 

PS-- Hard dodger, anyone?....anyone...Bueller?
