[Public-list]Hull #22 found--where is 306?

[George Dinwiddie]

I'm really sorry to hear that, Dave.  The bulkheads can be reglassed to
the hull, or replaced, but it may be more work than you want to do.  A
good boat can almost always be repaired.  Remember Hal Roth salvaged
Whisper after being blown ashore and holed on an island near Cape Horn.
If you haven't read "Two Against Cape Horn," I recommend it.
