David, I'm curious as to what you said to elicit such a response. Thanks, Danny -------- Original message --------From: David Risch <davidrisc...@msn.com> Date: 11/20/20 6:10 PM (GMT-05:00) To: Stus-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Subject: Stus-List Re: Sails
Just an FYI… Grew up on LIS. Foredeck (cow) monkey at 12 (big for my age) on a 35 MK1 and thence on a 38 Mk 1. We had Butch Ulmer aboard many times (who I managed to piss off…”son…I have squeezed more water out of my socks than you have been over”. Epic) Cost not an issue? Given the prevalence of C & C s in LIS, go with UK. Their sail making database for C & Cs are, IMHO, in the States, second to none. But they are expensive. Great. But expensive.

And he was the C&C 29 winner of all time for years…….now long gone, but I never forgot the calculation.

Anybody have an update on Wally? Is Stella Blue still in Mexico? Last I recall was a “soap box derby” type of race somewhere in Baja on whatever people could create out of locally sourced flotsam… His website was a fabulous source of how to write ups / photos of various boat projects.
