A truly mesmerizing website for boat nuts is the photo log of the construction of "Spark," a dreamy little lapstrake pocket cruiser. It's unbearable to think that the boat was lost just after its launch. But the photos are still there for everyone to enjoy. _http://www.qei.co.uk/spark.html_ (http://www.qei.co.uk/spark.html) And if smaller lapstrake boats are your thing: _http://dinghybuilder.blogspot.com/_ (http://dinghybuilder.blogspot.com/) Cheers.

For those like me with the "I've looked at everything Monty I can possibly find on the web.......6 times" problem, there's a couple of brief updates on the www.havasumontgomerys.funtigo webpage. Nothing earthshattering, just a weekly update on our progress. Also, for those who are familiar with the web page of Glissando the Triton 28 and the Triton Daysailor project, Good Ol' Boat has a great article this month on Tim Lackey the creator and mastermind behind both projects as well a a couple of others. If you are into refurbing a classic plastic boat you have to check out Tims sites. They are outstanding. http://www.triton381.com/ http://www.thedaysailor.com/ Hopefully there's some stuff there that you can enjoy on a cold winters day! We are supposed to get the first rain here tonight in over 3 months. Hope we don't melt. Got to break out the sweaters....highs only in the 60's.....Brrrrrrr. ;-) Sean

somewhat off topic

This may be a bit off topic for some, but hopefully others will find it of interest. I have been reading a new magazine called ‘Make’, available from Borders and also online at makezine.com. It has lots of interesting ‘how to’ information I have not seen elsewhere. For example, how to make a gun from pvc that will shoot a potato 200 yards, how to take kite aerial photographs, and how to bend tubing for a sailboat pulpit. OK, the pulpit was made from aluminum, but it is still interesting. Lots of other great ideas to fill the winter days. I couldn’t resist the potato gun!!!! Now I hear that folks in the midwest make pumpkin guns! Watch the news for reports of naval battles if this gets too popular. I know many sailors like to make gadgets, so if you are one of them, check this out. Also, try del.icio.us on the net. Bob Becker M15 #208 San Francisco area

What's New

January's update is finished and I think a big improvement. Sean Mulligan mentioned the old Funtigo Photo Site had an advantage in that when you signed on you could see what was new because of the red "NEW" I used to put next to the recent posts. So, after pondering it - the obvious struck me and there is now a page to let you know what are the newest items as well as when the last update was. Go to: _http://www.msogphotosite.com/WhasNew.html_ (http://www.msogphotosite.com/WhasNew.html) >From there you'll find the links to all of the new photos. Use your back button to return to that page or if you lose the page, go to the Links & Information section on the far right of the page and you'll see the What's New with a red asterisk beside it. Hope you enjoy the changes. Bill _www.msogphotosite.com_ (http://www.msogphotosite.com)
