With that aft extension, his boat looks something like a nifty
trimaran tug.Very pleasing to my eye but then again,I suppose John
will want to expand his enclosed living space to further increase the
comfort level for all on board.Imagine the fun of scooting along a
confusion of waves,perfectly stable, while a storm rages outside and
the happy passengers,all warm and dry inside, join in another round
of "Move Over Mabel The Two Bucks Is On The Beer" as another case is
cracked and dumped on the ice. It would be amusing to see the faces
of those along the shoreline,peering out from their windows,wondering
where the hell all that whooping and hollering is coming from out on
the water during a storm:-D
And just think,you'll soon have your own"pleasure"craft on the
water too! The Rideau Canal may never be the same.............:-)

I have posted 5 pictures of the stretched bantam John Bartlett is
working on in Ft. Pierce. His earlier description of the performance
was very positive. Always nice to see someone walking the talk. The
photos are called bantam 1,2,3,4,5

Way to go John, a great addition to a wonderful design. More to come.
