Not a chance…
Just back from the WoodenBoat Show, which was fabulous. www.thewoodenboatshow.com
One of the high points: SKUA racing, built from a design in The Rudder in 1939:

Ray Clark beating out Anne Dunbar. The championship was won by Jim Cassidy…
So many great boats and great people. I was fortunate enough to emcee a fantastic tribute to William, John, and Pat Atkin. Presenters included Mike O’Brien (in absentia), Walt Ansel, Joe Youcha, Timm Schlieff, Dan MacNaugton, Ben Fuller, Jay Benford, Jon Wilson, and Pat herself. It was a glorious occasion, and hopefully we can give you some verbatims shortly, both here and in the magazine.
And there were so many other highlights. What aspects did YOU like the best?
We have just returned, so I don’t have access to photos, etc. Please feel free — and encouraged — to post yours here.
Thanks, all, for making this such a beautiful occasion. More soon….
