items of interest

[Ed Roberts]

In the 3/15 issue of an odd little magazine called “Messing About in Boats” there are two items of possible interest to the inhabitants of this board.

#1 is a picture of an older gentleman tearing along in a hi-tech trimaran. The text says, “I finally hit 20 knots in 16 knots of wind on August 10th in Robinhood Cove in my latest tri, the 4th in a succession I have been building. All the boats are built of wood with fiberglass and carbon fiber over. I am now working on #5 this winter. Come try it in ‘99.”

#2 is a classified ad: “Free Sails, main, jib, genoa for Cape Dory Typhoon, gd cond.

This is true. An oft late afternoon entertainment at Robinhood is watching Andy sail the latest trimaran followed by the Robinhood yacht tender carefully clocking his speed.

In fact, just this morning my wife and I were discussing how Andy should make his appearance at the August Robinhood gathering. Andy also loves his yard size front loader (a small tractor) and can often be seen moving rocks and such hither and there. Molly is holding out for an arrival by sea on a trimaran while I am voting for a land-based tractor arrival complete with baseball cap.

Joe,

This is GREAT!!!

I met Andy, his brother, and mother in East Tauton, Mass. about fifteen years ago when my eldest daughter was looking at colleges in Providence. (All three ended-up in Providence.) They were so hospitable and not just pushing CDs, but genuine friendly people. Of course I loved GUILLEMOT (and I still do) and they enriched the ownership love. They had annual events in Newport for CD owners and gave a lot of free advice and trinkets to the attendees. REAL people and give you faith in humanity!! Joe, you might want to look up Guillemot in Audubon --- you would probably understand why she is so named!

Warmer Regards, this morning,
Lyn
