[Public-List] folkboat start

Fri Oct 14 07:22:43 PDT 2011

or in the vernacular: wooden shoe, wooden head, wouldn't listen.
I'm sure they had thier reasons. :)

Here's a link to video shot of one of the starts... The Dutch were over

been there fighting it out in F KC 16... Who knows, we might have been
clobbered..but on the other hand....
