Sam Johnson just sent me this list -- a great one.

Tom asked me to provide you with the names and addresses of bookstores in Europe that I think have good selections of maritime books. You...

Jim Naisbitt, I think?

I saw the briefest of mentions of this new design last week, and thought she deserved some further scrutiny.

She's the topic of this week's My Wooden Boat of the Week, http://boats.woodenboat.com....

Canoez and Larks -- Your posts are so eloquent! pm me your mailing addresses + choice of WB hat colors. I'll ship 'em off to you.

MIK, you're disqualified, as you are the original poster. No...

Our FaceBook honcho, eagle-eyed Pat Lown, found this on FB this morning.

For some reason -- and it's just as well -- I can't get in to FB today.

Captain Mobius, eh?

Who knows anything about...

This situation is getting messier by the day. If I were a member of ISAF or ILCA, I'd resign.

There's a great piece by Mick (Michael) Storer on his website.

"Sometimes it's not about the boat..."

And it's the topic of My Wooden Boat of the Week.

Please read it and comment? I'm sure...

Right you are, KJ. But I know you want that board with hoses....

Online, I can recommend D.N. Goodchild, as Greg Rossel also wrote about in WB No. 231. I've bought many from them, always happily. www.dngoodchild.com. For older titles, Abe and Alibris are also...

Well, not really a chain. They had maybe 3-4 stores.

I'm not sure you're all aware of this, but there is a firestorm a'brewing regarding the Laser and rights to her design and build.

True, the Laser isn't wooden. But many of us learned to love...

Sorry, Steven. I guess I missed your original post.

Hat on its way to you, Jim. The least we can do in honor of your words.

I couldn't agree more, Thad.

Of course they count, Russ!

But I don't think they'll beat the catamaran around the course.....

Best to you, Carl

Jim -- Great job! With the power vested in me, I hearby declare you the winner of a WB hat for best post(s) lately.

Please pm me your choice of hat, and your mailing address?

Fabulous writing....

Is anyone currently building one in wood?

Not too many crocs here in Maine (well, except the shoes), but it's always good to be prepared.

Thanks, Carl

Yes, John is still around. His company -- AeroHydro -- continues to produce excellent hull design software.

John's health hasn't been good in recent years, but his spirits seem good.

There's been some good chatter here about Keith Callaghan's new designs: the Hazardous Merlin Rocket and BlueMotion.

In My Wooden Boat of the Week, I look at one of his older designs, Blue...

We have a winner. He posted -- http://boats.woodenboat.com

I guess I'll have to find a more difficult one next time.

But please keep the dialogue going.

Best to you, Carl

I believe there's more significance to the story.....

Gee, Kevin -- already?

Close, but....

Here's an ID question for you today, from My Wooden Boat of the Week.

I remember the supposed significance of this boat. But I'm interested in hearing and learning your thoughts.

Please read...

Ah, Mickey. Get back up on your horse and ride her again.

I'll settle for nothing less than Gold for you.

All best, Carl

Well spake, David -- thanks. Carl

Sometimes it feels that way to us as well, Ian. At least our current service seems far superior to its predecesor.

Hi, Pete. I have forwarded your message to our subscription department and hopefully they can resolve on Monday.

Hi, all. Sorry, we're still having technical issues with iTunes. They're maddening.

We got an actual name of someone there. But she apparently dislikes replying to emails....

We shall see, Sku.

Fair enough. One tot it is, Skuthorp. Reserve the bar at the Lark, please?

Sorry, Frank R -- I saw yours the other day and became intrigued. So I hope I'm not truly hijacking?

The 12' Croff Craft flyfish has been picked up by Orvis.

Interesting boat. Read Frank R's...

"Ours is not to reason why...."

It's still in the rumor mill stage, Steven. Vague mutters and the like.

To yours, Basil: Pick a day in August 1974. I'll see if I can get a precise one (date) for you.

Once and if we make...

Kit boats, that is.

Add to the list of low power. From 1917.
