dstgean Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Looks like Graham gets some more coverage in print! Great story that really whets my appetite to go sailing. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Niemann Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Dan, Which issue is it. I don't see it in any issues I have. However, I did discover that I may be missing the March 15th issue. At least I have not found it yet. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Lathrop Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Dale, You just haven't gotten the latest issue yet. Since I built and sailed the boat in the article before selling it to John and Lynn Sperry, I have a proprietary interest in their travels and travails. "Loon" has to be one of the most active beach cruisers around. The Outer Banks, Maine, Canada and Great lakes while we had it and now the Great Salt Lake and Mexico. I marveled at the amount of gear they managed to cram into Loon for their latest adventure. Also sweated out the jibing entry into a downwind harbor with an overloaded boat in strong wind and waves. The Bay River Skiff 15 is a grand boat but was never intended to be pushed this hard. They would be much better off in a CS 17 or better yet, a CS 20.

Dale Niemann Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Thanks Tom. I have now received the Messing About April 1st issue with the article about Loon. I read it with great interest as I have their other articles. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
