[Public-List] upwind in wind

[Richard Hughes]

I thought the saying was " If God had wanted you to have fiberglass boats, 
he would have invented fibrerglass trees"
This from the ex Dragon owner (KC75 "Vite") which took two years to restore 
and I gave away!

She may be pretty, but read the fine print: she's wooden. No one except a
masochist should ever TOUCH a WOOD boat. One of my earliest memories is
standing in the boatyard alongside my father on freezing March days in Long
Island,  handing him yarns of  tarred oakum which he hammered into the
seams with a caulking iron. He always complained that every relative in
town wanted boat rides in the summer but nobody was ever around in the
spring. If God wanted you to have a wooden boat he wouldn't have invented
tubeworms & fiberglass.
