    Howard,
    Opportunity awaits! Milly has an “extra” 110 keel salvaged from one of those aging Kaneohe 110’s just waiting for a builder.

    CBC Port Captain Spruit will not be needing a salvaged 110 keel. This past week, with plans in hand, Howard ordered the Okume plywood, aluminum, steel, and got his welder working to embark on building his last, best, and fastest boat. I have not a doubt in the world this will be achieved, likely in 1 year's time. And no, there are no foils for this head turner.

    It's been like that for me recently. I walk into just about any place and if they hear I'm a retired CPA they ask if I'll be their Treasurer. I need to work up some come-backs: "Two for me, one for you?" "I just got released from prison for money-laundering" (etc.)

    My best friend in HS had a 110 mouldering away in his driveway all the years they were at that particular house. I never saw it on the water. I'd be really curious to sail one.

    My mind reading is sporadic from a distance, but plywood / steel / aluminum seems to be useful to conjure some speedy sort of outrigger speedy sailboat.
