Thank you Stuart, for another informative article.
I have always enjoyed your main page, and thank you
for providing the kind of information that you do.
You are so right about picking the right boat for your
needs. I ended up with a sit on the deck racer, with
lots of sail, and it discouraged me from learning further.
I have rowed all of my life, and always wanted a traditional
dingy, and am pleased to discover through your page that
they are still available. In fact, I am condsidering building
one of the kits that you describe.
It was also a pleasure to see a referenct to Jan Atkins' "Craft of
Sail", an excellent book with wonderful illustrations.
