And then-

The boyfriend gave her a REAL jigsaw puzzle, a 100 piece jobbie of a
duckie and a horsie that said for 3 to 5 years, knowing full well that
she would be thrilled when she solved it in only 2 years.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Hi Bill,

Good to hear that you have found a loft that fits your needs!
Nothing worse then being stuck with a finished boat ready to launch
with no sails.
Sorry I wasn't able to dig up the name of the sail loft I used
but THANK YOU for sparing me the task of rummaging through boxes and
boxes of "stuff" :-) Come to think of it, considering the age of the
purchase, whatever ever price I would have paid then would be totally
different today for you.

Continued success with your build and I'll keep my fingers and
toes crossed that your wish for an early summer launch comes true!


Sincerely,

Peter Lenihan, hoping for my own summer launch so that I can get back
to the fun business of drinking lots of ill gotten booty,some rapin'-n-
pillagin',terrorizing small river-side villages and all the other fun
pirate stuff there is to do,from along the shores of the mighty
St.Lawrence.............

Hi Bruce(and Bill!),

My folder with all the bills relating to the building of my
Micro is in deep storage and would take a while to dig out.
However,I had ordered my sails through Common Sense Designs,when
Bernie Wolfard was at the helm and Brainbridge Sails(Brainbridge
Island?) for some reason keeps popping up in my memory as the source
of the sails.
Perhaps the best would be to contact Bernie( I think he still
may be a member of this group) for exact details.
In the meantime,I'll try and find time to head over to the
storage warehouse where my stuff is and try to extract the relavent
file .......not an easy thing for a dis-organized clown like myself:-)

Congrats on getting a marina berth Bruce,and so close to work!


Sincerely,

Peter Lenihan
