Mainsheet? Maybe someone who really feels a need to fill this hole will step up to the plate and volunteer to undertake the absolutely enormous, thankless task of converting all this paper to *.pdf format and indexing it. I, for one, find the level of support from the e-mail list incredibly valuable and timely.

Mainsheet? Dave, I am not a member of the IC27A executive, and I surely do not doubt their sincerity and dedication, but I agree with you. I too joined with the hope of having access to those articles. Those few I've gotten my hands on since purchasing my C27 a few years ago have been immensely valuable as I've handled projects on my boat, but they are also interesting in helping an owner like me to get to know the C27, whether involved in a particular project or not. I have searched around the IC27A site looking for article access and found a thread here or there that I thought might lead me there, but my attempts proved pointless. The fact that I still try from time to time shows my deep desire for the knowledge and wisdom they provide. Again, I do not doubt the sincerity of those involved, and Phil has always been helpful to me, when I've waded into the email stream. regards, Jon Prestage #1858 C27 Zephyrus III Wilmington, NC > [Original Message] > From: McCance/Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Date: 12/12/2006 5:14:04 PM > Subject: catalina27-talk: Technical Notes?
