I'd very much like to make a Montgomery rendezvous, Clarence. I don't think it's going to happen in 2004, though. It would be excellent to meet and talk to "the experts" (those of you with extensive sailing experience, Montgomery and "misc.", and have shared so many innovative solutions and so much practical knowledge with the list) first-hand.
Regarding, "----- Original Message ----- From: "n9ca" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Craig, have you considered inner tubes?" I personally prefer the Conbert approach to staying afloat, so don't have any imminent plans to add positive floatation , but it seems like inner tubes could be workable, doesn't it? ----- Original Message ----- From: "n9ca" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, March 21, 2004 12:10 AM Subject: Chimpanzee . . . Craig, My energy at present is getting together the necessary stuff to rig a sheet to tiller self steering rig in time for a March 14 trip to Key West, and on to the Marquesas Keys, in the wake of Doug Kelch. Tod's web page was extremely helpful in gathering the data for the steering rig. I'd like to have a kick-up rudder before the CBC-2004. Speaking of which, why don't you make it this year. The Wolverine State isn't THAT far away! Yes Craig,I am a pilot, and fly a Cassutt Racer, which is a Formula One aircraft that I built from scratch, including carving the propeller. I have logged just under 300 hours in it. It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

And you're also designing a kick-up, aren't you, Clarence? --Craig p.s., Clarence, aren't you also a pilot, as well as a sailor? I'd be interested to know how many list contributors are pilots, i.e., John Tyner calls himself an "aero engineer" . . . Both sailing and flying use craft powered by the Bernoulli effect, eh? _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
