[Alberg30] Tensioning Dual Stays

[Roger L. Kingsland]

Calvin;

Congratulations on getting launched (I am a little jealous).  Sounds like
you are in for the time of your life.  If you learn to sail half as well as
you write, you will have a ball.  Heck, you'll have a ball just learning.
It's a great sport that provides lifetime gratification.

Roger

PS - Hold onto that extra stay.  I have some crazy ideas that I want to run
by our "panel of experts" once they (the ideas, not the panel) have jelled
(or is it coagulated?).
