I studied his designs, but never met him. Thank you for posting the link to the article. He was 90 when it was written: "When most people reach their late 60s, they slow down. Not Tom. He designed and built a 24’ boat." If I had had the opportunity to meet Tom in his 90s, I would have asked him: "what now would you want to tell your 60-year-old self, or tell to anyone in his early 60s?" Open invitation to those of you who are well beyond your early 60s: how would you answer?

Any initial asking price range?

I am almost finished spring-cleaning my workshop and have just a couple more items that I want to move along to another builder. One item is an epoxy mixer/dispenser that is already set up to pump out a 2:1 ratio of resin to hardener. I also have a couple bags of silica thickener, microballoons, and milled glass fiber. Last, a can of non-skid additive that you sprinkle on paint before it dries (or so goes the theory - I never tried it). Anyway, best to let the free market decide how much is a fair price for this stuff, so I just posted the stuff on eBay starting at 99 cents with no reserve price. You might get it plenty cheap this way! http://myworld.ebay.com/raleighboatbuilder Just click the "Items for sale" link. Thanks to all those who bought earlier items. Mike

I have some video of Ken's boat in action on my YouTube site. http://www.youtube.com/mike27608

I plan to attend on Saturday and bum boat rides from those who bring boats.

Hi Ken- Are your masts aluminum all the way up, or is the upper third made of wood? Thanks. Mike
