Hi Tod,
I'm not getting totally out of sailing, just another prudent (or
imprudent?) down sizing to match physical capability and new realities.
Yes, I'll still be lurking in the shadows and supplying my comments if
needed.
You're much too interesting a group of sailors to just depart. Where
would I get the Larry jokes?
...or Rachel's smiley or frowns?
We've been married for a most pleasant time, and it will continue that
way.
Replacing the M15 will be a smaller and simpler, Joel White designed
Shellback dinghy.
It has a dipping lug sail on a free standing short mast, and a
centerboard. I hope that I will be able to drop it in the water very
easily, and go rowing or sailing at a moment's whim depending on weather
and wind conditions.
If you want a look at the Shellback go to Google;
Enter: "Shellback dinghy trailer"
When it comes up, then go to the 3rd item:
"The Ride by Steve Clancy, TSCA Puget
Sound" click on this and
Shellback dinghy "Ruckus" at '99
Mystic Seaport Small Craft weekend
opens.
This is now LEPPO II.
Connie
