I'm very impressed with what I've been reading and seeing on this group site. Since being a member, I've only seen two melonseeds for sale and they both sold...
Greetings, I may be in need of a trailer for a Melon Seed sized skiff, 150-200lbs. Has any one here used something like the (small) trailers that are often...
Marc, The only thing about short trailers is that you dont want too much tongue weight, Have have my melonseed way back on the trailer, but it still used to...
Dear Melonheads, I just recieved this delightful message today, and with great pleasure, thought I would share it with the rest of you. Of course this is...
The recent posting about a trailer made me recall that I need to get a winch stand for my trailer so I can take "Juliot" on the road this summer. I checked...
... Preach away, Roger. The best thing is that I feel this way every time I see my Melonseed -- the thrill is definitely not gone. :-) I had a fine little sail...
I'm assuming that the MOTORBOAT advertisement that pops up on my screen sometimes between messages here at the club is universal. Everytime it pops up it gives...
RJR, Really? MOTORBOAT?? Huh! I get Pop ups from Woodenboat on the even days of the week, SAILING on the odd numbered days of the week, and Classic Boat on...
Marc, While my 'seed sits on the galvanized trailer Roger sold me, I have since encountered what I now consider to be the best small boat trailer available,...
What's the difference between sailing and motorboating. You use a motorboat to go somewhere. On a sailboat you are already there! ... STOP MORE SPAM with the...
Thought I would send this out FYI. I have been quite surprised by the unusual number of inquiries I have received this Spring about the 16' Swampscott Dory ...
Being a proud owner of the versatile and tricked out Dory I am not surprised. Extremely seaworthy, bordering on enticement to push the envelope. The best...
Hi Roger, Where can I see pictures and specs? Enjoy the day Irv Kooris ... From: roger_d_crawford [mailto:no_reply@yahoogroups.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 07,...
So would Roger! Introduction: I'm new to the list, but not new to Roger Crawford. Roger and I have been friends since about 1967, when I worked for him at the ...
Greetings, Melonheads -- Last week I had too much weather information and believed the dour forecast, stayed home and moaned all day. It was gorgeous and the...
A quick search turned up this page, with several nice pictures of one of Roger's Swampscotts: http://www.openboat.fsnet.co.uk/boats/occam.html Lenny...
MessageHear, Hear! Let's hear more info. One never has too many boats, does one? Sure, you can only messabout with one at a time, but there are many...
I'm not surprised by the interest. The SD is a lovely, extremely capable boat, you can't buy anything like it (unless you're willing to do the maintenance on...
Finally got a chance to take the dory out for a spin last weekend. What a great boat! Different from the melonseed, but everything I hoped for. Two weekends...
I used to save up old "D" cell batteries to throw at powerboats. Lobbed the suckers right at the bridge. A friend of mine had a better idea: He had a big...
... across a broken down jetski last summer and towed him back to land with the Melonseed. This worked quite well and fortunately I was able to sail in front...
RC, Where you were gracious to allow me to attend the '02 MS Spring Regatta with one of your SDory's, are there any plans for an '03 MS Regatta, that these...
Hi Jack, Do you have any pictures and specs of your dory. Thanks Irv ... From: luffoff [mailto:no_reply@yahoogroups.com] Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2003 10:24 AM ...
Forgot to mention one other observation from my jaunt down to Point Lookout two weeks ago. Most of the people I met were playing with sailing kayaks, and the...
