I had to be away for a couple of days. I got all the books and DVDs out, but the study plans had to wait until I take them to the printers. Will print and post the lot on Monday.

Famu Relaunched
Faamu Sami, now called Pipeline 3 , KHSD 46 tri, was relaunched at the Lyman Morse boatyard recently. You can’t see much about the new bows here, but this video is all we have. I wonder who did the new laminate design work? I did the new lines. I think. http://www.lymanmorse.com/boatDetails.php?boatID=165#prettyPhoto/0/
Proboat Radio Archives
Proboat Radio is no more. But you can visit all of the archives of Proboat Radio.
I got to go on a couple of them.

for Catamaran Sliding Doors at IBEX
Typically my cats, and others, get burdened with enormously heavy aluminum and tempered glass sliding doors at the cabin back. And we try to save weight everywhere else.
These structural plastic trucks and track channels look like a great way to escape heavy, clunky sliding doors. I will design some details soon to use these. Teak Isle. www.teakisle.com
No More Ugly Engine Rooms
Nice Note from Barbara Jean
IBEX organizer and renaissance person Barbara Jean Sunshine Walsh “At #IBEX13 I had some postcards on my desk with a notice “Postcards from the Future” and invited speakers to fill in their home addresses and give me a topic, with the promise that I’d write them a postcard poem — In The Future — not to exceed 34 syllables. Nine of them took me up on my offer. This is the first one, based on a true story, told to me years ago by Clean Marine Systems’ David Flagler after his wild ride on a boat designed by Kurt Hughes. The best part of the storytelling was just as he finished, we got out of the cab, walked into the Miami hotel where everyone was staying, and there was Kurt sitting in the Lobby. Great moments from IBEX Past.”
