Re: Glens boat
Glen,
No offense, but I think you're judging the forest (the overall
quality) on the basis of a couple crooked trees (a few well-fixed
mistakes).

John,
Thanks for the nice words, but I think your view of my
construction quality was skewed by your awe of the boat itself. Believe
me, it's closer to a 5 meter boat than a 500mm, and since I tend to
measure in imperial units, let's just round that up to 20 feet, OK ;-)
But it is made of gaboon ply, and it is sturdy, and that's good enouph
for me...

measure in imperial units, let's just round that up to 20 feet, OK ;-)
But it is made of gaboon ply, and it is sturdy, and that's good enouph
for me...
