I've h...

a question for JM

A couple of years ago we got a peek at a single handed sailing dinghy that looked like a cross between an old AMF Zuma and a new Swift Solo,and looked a lot like the Force 5 II that Brian Weeks was working on.

Re: Southeastern Boat Builders Meet June 3rd-5th 2011

Hey,I get the joke.On the map it looks like you could just about spit from one side to the other.I do hope there is a bootlegger or somebody selling that golden elixer of life on the island,otherwise we may have to post armed skirmishers on the road north to keep our supply lines from being cut.As y...
