[Public-List] Racing in Toronto this summer

[Gordon Laco]

Ah.   Dominic I don't think that would be safe.  Our boats can be moved on
flatbeds but they've got to be the low floats commonly used by the
commercial movers.  That's partly for centre of gravity, and partly to get
under bridges...

Thank you for the idea though....
