Young PCB writes to L Francis Herreshoff

While rummaging through the on-line archives at Mystic Seaport's
website, a found a delightful exchange of correspondence between the
young Phil Bolger and L. Francis Herreshoff.

The best part is where the young PCB (then 18) tells the great LFH:
"I can't help thinking you're on thin ice theoretically" when it
comes to genoa jibs. How's that for chutzpah?

I've posted more details over at the Woodenboat forum. See:
