[alberg30] Sea Hood Idea

[Tom Sutherland]

From: Tom Sutherland <sutherlandt at prodigy.net>

Lee ... As I was reading your post it occurred to me that you might be
able borrow a fiberglass sea hood from a fellow Alberger and use it to
make your  own mold. I removed the sea hood from # 412 about a year ago
and I can't help but think that this would be quite possible. ....Has
anyone ever tried this ?
