Annie she is and Annie M she will stay! She sounds like she was an incredible woman, and you were very blessed to have her. Thank you so much for sharing her with me. :oops: P.S. thanx for not adding "crazy" before my imposed moniker.

Hiya! Mr. Tim! You are AMAZING!!!!! You are so very cool! 8) Imagine someone going to this much trouble on behalf of someone they already sold a boat to! I, for one, am only beginning to appreciate the sort of people who are "boat people". :angel: I am shaking my head in awe and joy! Is it the water that makes you all so amiable? Do you all just have "Happy Flakes" for breakfast? Lucky me...o' blessed me...oh happy me!

WOW! WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW! I knew I was just scratching the surface! But WOW! I am in awe....keep them coming and add links to sites (if you have 'em) any anything else that Mr. Hagen allows. This is perfect for us beginners.. tho I am getting the impression that even the old salts are impressed by some of these adaptations. It is humbling to see what you all have done, and inspiring, and mind-boggling, and intimidating, and hope giving, and ....enough waxing already...I leave the floor to my betters... Y'all ROCK! }:+D

The very thought that a body may, on any given day, go down to the local hardware store, throw a few hundred dollars of wood onto a flat, take it home and build themselves the horizon..... Breathtaking! When I get down watching the world drive around in their little cookie-cutter Lexus cages, this board is the very best in renewing my faith in humanitys freedom and spirit. Bravo!!! :thumbsup:

COOL! I can very much see how tucked into that pocket you would feel (and in reality be) so secure and confident. Always easier to think clearly in a "situation" if you are not concurrently worried about going overboard. This is what I so wanted to see...I think it is so neat that you can experiment with these great little boats, customize them, make them yours. I know that some of the mods that may be posted might be outrageous...but that is what is so great about this venue. Lots of awesome ideas...tremendous creativity...and the stunning uniqueness and variety of points-of view. Thanx in advance to all who contribute...

Ok. :D I am asking for the sake of all the newbies out there lurking & dreaming learning more about sandpaper than we ever wanted to know (for example; I could have gone my whole life without knowing that 600 grit paper grows legs and chases you about the room when it is mixed vigorously with this forum, lack of sleep and tequilla). And who like me would love to see all those outstanding, daring, and usefull trips down the rabbit hole of "straying a bit from the blueprints" all in one Technicolour place. Mods like the practical Pop-Top on Angie Wilsons' "Fat Chance", the insanely beautiful rudder improv on Adla Earls' "Morgaine" and of course Mr. Dieberts extensive mods on well.... EVERYTHING! I know what I have seen so far is just scratching lightly at the surface. Pictures & a thousand words: Brag-moan-detail-delineate to your hearts content. What worked? What didn't? But please no Gedanken experiments; keep it real. If it isn't flesh and blood yet, real 3-D lets leave it at home. I know I for one would love to see, all in one place, the results of changes to this Weekender design; especially since it seems so open and forgiving to change. Is this too forward a request? :oops: :roll: I promise to respond in kind with photos and details once RSdaCat is more than a moaning chair awaiting the company of wood shavings and de-headed-stripped screws. :wink:

Pineapple juce is woues much worse... and it got my enter key, space bar, comma, and shift :oops: white (rubbing) alcohol works wonders tho... Thank you for posting this question!!!! I love the education that is available in these forums!!!!!! It is no nice to be able to ask questions and get solid answers w/o being embarrased or looked down on for your lack of knowledge. I hate being a greenie but boat "people" are so sweet they make it bearable. In this respect I am finding sailors to be so much nicer people than horse people.

Hello everyone! I am just a newbie..don't even have a boat..yet Now that sounds like a country song I thought instead of lurking I might share this link for a Sampan for sail(sic) on e-bay. It is not mine but I like to contribute http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AVRI&viewitem=&item=180105866541&rd=1,1 She is really pretty, tho not as pretty as a weekender in my own very unlearned, and humble opinion. Also, it is hand/home built so there are others who share your joy and interest in these Sampan boats. How cool is that! Hope everyone is having a fantastic April!

about 4 1/2 hours out of Lake Mead. But I think it would be worth my while to make the drive and see them (a bunch of them) all up close and personal like. Get a feel for the lines and see how neat they sail, and how similar or not they are to the little sunfish I am familiar with, a bit of compare & contrast. Thanks so much for responding. I just reread my post.. :oops: seems a bit rowdy just coming out of the gate...

Hi everyone! I too have a terminal case of whatever it is that has infected this board. :n00b: I was on the BYYB forum and saw info about an up-coming Weekender regatta. I cannot ask questions (as yet) on that board, and was wondering since there seems to be so much crossover here, if anyone had any details. Mostly I was wondering if I could get an e-vite. I am determinded to build one in the very near future and would like to get a solid look at a 3-D version. And watch how they handle. Don't try to talk me out of it...I am young and strong and itchin to brawl and besides I'm a girl, so it is OK that I like all that "gingerbread". And I feel like if I do not get back out on the water soon I will lose my mind. Ok oK it's gone already, totaly besides the point Anyone have any info?
