Ahoy all!

I've started the installation of my Cape Horn Windvane, which I'll be trying
to document in an easy and entertaining manner on my website.  In the
meantime, I have a little nugget to take a peek at.  There are all sorts of
"tall tales" about how heavy the A-30's hull lay-up is.  Well, there's more
than a little bit of truth to them!  The cut-out  from the transom for the
windvane is fully 1-3/16" thick!!!  These good old boats never stop warming
my heart!  I wonder how thick a modern "bleach bottle" hull would be at the
same spot?
