yes, i agree, jones did tell a tale. much of what he did has been confirmed (by passport records and photos - some of this is documented in the book you referrenced, 'Sailing Among the Stars: The Story of Sea Dart') jones was a story teller in the 'welsh art.' it is sad he was so poor through his life he always took an immediately deal to solve a current crisis v. getting the better deal over the long haul. a 'sea dart' article would be great. dave M15#288 (not yet named)

I'll have to dig that piece back up and finish it one of these days... Jones could spin a tale for sure, though I think he played fast and loose with the facts many times. There is a fine book about the boat called 'Sailing Among the Stars: The Story of Sea Dart' by Laural Wagers of Sandpoint ID. Great background on the boat. t --------------------------------- Expecting? Get great news right away with email Auto-Check. Try the Yahoo!
