SHTP 2016 interest thread

[sleddog]

Greetings, Somewhere on this thread I believe Mike stated he had an Allied XL2 and "would be good for it" I could not find mention of this in any text and would like to get in touch with Mike. Any help or direction on my query would be appreciated.

An Allied XL2 is mentioned on this thread, page 6, post #55, 11/06/2015.

Happy 2016 with 19 boats who have so far expressed interest in SHTP!

I recently posted a YouTube video I shot during my 429.5 NM qualifier that I completed on October 26-29. Thanks to West Marine for the loan of the GoPro equipment, and for the video production help from our video editor, Tim Clark. Enjoy!

Nicely done, Tom! Inspirational, too. Good luck on the fund raising efforts.

Actually that Allied XL2 is mine. it was the cover boat on the August 1973 "Yachting" magazine, back when it was owned by Shelby Friedrichs, and was frequently skippered by his son, Buddy Friedrichs, who was a gold medal winner in Dragons, in the Olympics back in that era. it is a beautiful keel/centerboard 22000 pound, Sparkman and Stevens design influenced by the CCA rule, which favored yawls.

It looks like I won't be able to ship my PS31 home since the shippers require a trailer. I unfortunately dont have the time in my schedule to sail back. I'm thinking of leaving it there on the hard till next year when I can return and sail it home unless I can find a competent crew to bring it back for me ( at a reasonable cost ). Thoughts, suggestions anyone?
Cheers, Mike
