Ain't gonna happen. I was a "Republican" because of my mama (she was a
Republican town committeeperson or something like that) until I was
about 16, and when there were some pretty decent Republicans around
running for national office. Not any more. Now they are mostly "I've got
mine, so screw you" corporate suckups. >> Stay informed about: Self bailing or not |

Listen up: I suspect you are capable of building decent little dinghies
and rowboats. Your site and your photos indicate that. That doesn't mean
you have what it takes in terms of engineering, tools, or knowledge to
build an ocean capable larger wooden boat, especially one you have
designed yourself.
Now, building a kit that someone else has engineered and tested, sure,
you could do that.
But boat kit building does not make you an expert in boat design or
engineering.
*I* used to help build plywood boats from "kits" the guys in my father's
shop cut out from patterns. I even built a few dinghies from kits
myself. Big deal...it was like assembling a model airplane, and it
didn't mean I knew anything about aeronautical design.
If you've built a few 20-30' wood boats that are ocean capable, and I
don't mean a lightweight skiff, let's see 'em. I'd love to see a 24'
cold molded boat with rounded chines, 16 degrees of vee at the transom,
a flared bow, and built on a frame.
Oh...if I were buying a a dinghy, it would be a a Dyer Dhow or Dink, and
if I wanted something larger to do some inshore sound fishing, I'd look
for a 16' Amesbury dory by Sturdee. No offense...but I think the 'glass
boats are more suitable for rugged use. >> Stay informed about: Self bailing or not |

Yeah, I designed a robot once. Also many rocketships. And I took
measurements once to determine if a small block V8 would fit into an
engineless Austin-Healey chassis. Wowzer.
The point is, I am not in the boatbuilding business, and your
boatbuilding business consists of dinghies and small rowboats.
If I were shopping for an ocean-capable wood boat or just advice on one,
I'd go to a builder or designer with a long track record in that area. >> Stay informed about: Self bailing or not |

It's a shame you two can't have your discussions via email. Then he be less
motivated to post his trash here.

I've noticed only one who has called you names. Of course, Harry accuses
you of piling bullshit on bullshit, but that's respectful.

You have no need to be sorry. Almost all of us can have civil discussion
with those we don't agree with.

Right! :>) Harry has said repeatedly that he will not change his
behavior. He has done what he could to bring about the demise of the group.

You will do what you wish. We've been through this before. Your
encouragement of Harry is not helping the group, regardless of how you
parse the blame. But, it's a free world.

Well said.. I have one last question for you. Do you, or do you not
believe there are several here who reguardless of the manner presented
could never have a civil conversation with Harry without being
insulted, taken out of text, or just plain misrepresented? If your
answer is "no" then I suggest you note the thread about the wooden
boats. I tried to participate without any insults or misrepsentations,
and was quickly attacked, my boats, my skills, my knowledge, my
personal hygene even...:0
-----------------------------
I don't believe that all can conduct themselves in a civil manner.
Personally, I just ignore them. It's Usenet.
