Hi, I found today that Yahoo! had put some bolger group messages into my 'Bulk mail' folder. I normally delete this stuff unlooked at. Can anybody figure...
Yes, the same thing is happening to me, I do read my bulk ( luckily I don't get too much!) but to say the least its a bit strange!......as to why? ...I don't...

After reading your comments below one solution comes to mind though I do not know of a Bolger plan that fits. For the ultimate in seaworthiness, portability...
Nels, I somehow missed the MAIB write-up. Can you post any information about Diamond? ... __________________________________ Yahoo! Music Unlimited Access...

Intriguing, but I'm not personally fond of "deflatable boats" as the author calls them. No "leeway control device" allowed in the competition! I guess...

Thanks, Nels. That is long, but I personally like a high length to beam ratio. It's interesting to me that Bolger says the boat is stiff on a 23" beam....
