[bolger] Re: Near Bejeweled Coronation
David, Thanks for your kind words, and your 22' Seaward sounds like a
fine boat. I would like to nominate you to the position of Master at
Arms to the court of the Micro.
And yes, what a bright and bubbly bunch we would be, were it not for
the years in the workplace. ;-)

David,
I hope you are not the one who laquered my Selmer Tenor. It
developed skin cancer at an early age. It is now considered to have a
lot of character. What is PL Premium?

Larry,
I just ordered Jim's catalogs of current and prototypes and I don't
see MusicBox2 in either of them? Did a web search to no avail also. So,
yes I'd love a look at the info you have.

Hi David,
Your looking at this keel thing in the wrong light, the Micro keel is
a right of passage, an initiation into a very exclusive club. In this
day of conspicuous machismo, wouldn't you like to be able to point to
the keel and proudly say, "See that there keel, I put 450 pounds of lead
into it, in one piece, by hand!" Just think of how great it would be, to
be able to add, "I overcame keel anxiety" to your résumé. Last, but in
no way least, Is the fact that within this brotherhood of keel makers,
there is the ability of always being to recognize a fellow keel maker.
Not with a secret hand shake, nor a hidden word, but by the glaze over
our eyes and the slow speech brought about by messing about in lead,

Not so fast now! Hold the coronation! I have great admiration for Micro,
but in terms of building bang for buck I'm still inclined to not having
to mess with lead. I know folks have come up with some clever ways to
deal with pouring 450 pounds of lead... however if my guestimation
serves me - I could build 2 or 3 Featherwinds in the time it takes to
plan, collect, weld tid bits, make mold, melt and pour Micro's keel. If
there were a water ballast version of Micro.... now that might get my
vote.
By the way, Dave Carnel has a very easy system for cartoping
Featherwind (so June Bug and others could try it) involving an ultra
simple "dolly" from a piece of 2x4 and 2 lawn mower wheels. (pneumatic
wheels lets you glide in style even over sandy beaches) which is
attached to the transom (Windsprinters and other double enders would
have to get even cleverer) Easier to get from pictures then describe.
I'll CC to Dave and see if he'll share his method with a bunch of crazed
Bolgerites.

I was pleased, however, to hear that June Bug can be cartopped. Perhaps I'll
sell my Windsprint and trailer to finance a June Bug. Or maybe I'll finance
it on a credit card (a plan which I thought was excellent by the way, not as
a way to finance the boat but as a way to finesse the wife).
With a daughter getting ready to go to college, I can't afford to start
Oldshoe or Micro, but I bet I could sneak in June Bug.
