That does it! The Sea Scouts get the gold, siver, brass and whatever
else they put in Loonies and Toonies these days. With luck, they'll be
able to make a TIMS sail with the proceeds.
The only Sea Scout "cookies" are the one's lost overboard after the
consumption of too much liquid ballast.

That's great Chuck! I'll let you know approximately how many we'll
need a few weeks a'fore the Messabout.
<"What do you think, Bruce? Can you stand a few more modules?">
Sure, the more the merrier. If we get too many, we'll lash them up in
doubles on an 8 foot beam. It was starting to get snakey at 96 feet
last September.
Anyone bringing a module, let me know, as we'll be bolting them this
year and I'll need to buy the bolts and washers. The bolted Tim'sBits
were considerably more solid feeling than the clamped units.
As sail boats, especially 80 by 4 (or so) schooners are more easily
tipped than power vessels, I'll be adding 4 cubic feet of floatation
(foam or air tight chambers) to each Tim'sBit. All crew must wear
life jackets please.
Participation of safety boats is needed and encouraged.

Bruce:
I love this idea, and in a show of support, Duckworks will donate the necessary cleats for the Super Schooner. No 2x4 scrap cleats for this boat! I'll send genuine hot dip galvanized cast iron cleats as is fitting for a manly schooner like this.
To make the generosity of this offer even more astounding, I challenge every member of this list to build not only two sail rigs, but a TIMS module of their own. Don't put cleats on it, though - Bruce will distribute them at the messabout.
What do you think, Bruce? Can you stand a few more modules?
Chuck - trying to convince Sandra that this really will be good publicity.

Subject: [bolger] 2004 TIMS World Record attempt, most masted schooner ever!
Yep, the most masted schooner ever built was the Seven-Masted
Schooner, "Thomas Lawson". There's a grainy b and w pic when you seach
on it.
The 2004 Kingston Messabout will see us breaking this record by a tidy
mast or two. Or a dozen!
TIMS will have it's wheelhouse removed, a rudder added beside the
motor and a lee board (or two. three, whatever) added for directional
stability.
Messabouters are requested to bring a mast of unstayed 2 by 4, eight
or more feet in height. Remember TIMS units have 2 feet of freeboard
when designing your sail. Attach a polytarp, dacron, bedsheet, collage
of George Bush T-shirts, rag, or beer case cardboard sail of your
choosing, be it: marconi sloop, square, lug, whatever. Sails to have a
foot no greater than 4 feet, to allow two masts per Tim'sBit. Then
slip it into one of the mast partnes I'll add to each TIMS unit. I'll
also attach two cleats for sail control to each unit.
The tallest mast will be the aft'most to qualify as a schooner.
Bring a lifjacket and an 6 by 4 foot rag, or be left out of the
<insert huge number here> Masted Schooner World Record Attempt 2004,
Saturday, 11 September, 2004 at Rideau Acres campground. This date is
a never to be forgotton one, and we can give tribute to the fallen of
many nations by having fun in their name. Freedom is never free, but
its always fun. Pro Partia!
Anyone coming, please indicate in your email to me at
bruce_hector@...whether you're bring a mast or not.
Proceeds, if any, of this years Kingston Messabout will be donated to
the Sea Scouts or Peter Lenihan's Suds fund, whichever deserving
charity needs it more.!
