| When Mike and Andrew were in the Red Scamp in the Everglades Challenge they came very close to going over I think. They got the side down in a big storm and I will need Mike to explain this one but I believe they got hit with a high gust of wind while trying to put in another reef. They ended up in ... |

| Love the color too! That is exactly the color that the Blue Scamp was supposed to be painted that Mike built. (We had two Scamps, so one was the Red Scamp and one was the Blue Scamp) When Mike did not finish the second Scamp John McKneeley purchased it and painted it the identical red combo that Mik... |

| For many years I was actively involved with promoting small boat dreams of getting on the water through the PuddleDucks or the Duckers. Believe me, I think I have heard and read every conceivable "dream" of building a floatable boat with little or no money. (My nickname for many is still M... |

| Keep going Julie! I am absolutely behind you supporting you, so will have to say so more often. I believe that women can do ANYTHING, especially building and sailing boats. We just don't have enough examples for others to follow, so keep going. I didn't notice the chickens! I am envious! Mike will n... |

| I got an e-mail from Mik this morning already and he is going to try and help Fred get his boat sorted out and sailing. I told you he was among the nicest boat designers and sailors I know.

| Fred. I do believe in fate and karma. So does Michael Storer. Michael Storer is a wonderful dinghy sailor and the designer of the Goat Island Skiff, a well respected sailboat, along with other boats. He is an absolute expert on lug sails and sailing with a lug sail. He is also one of the most enjoya... |

| Chris, we use http://www.metalsupermarkets.com We pick up in OKC and they are about 30% cheaper than ordering online and shipping. There are some near you but not in VA. They are not tapered and Mike paints his to match his boats, so they end up looking like painted wood. John Welsford and other NZ,... |
