I thought I knew a little about sailboats... I just published a great page about AMY. Amy is a flush deck M17 owned by a familiar name on the list... Mark Escovedo. After getting involved with this boat and this "professional, master tinkerer" I found out I was right! "I know a little about sailboats!" Start at the what's new page: http://www.msogphotosite.com/WhasNew.html Any of you with cast iron centerboards who want to consider an alternative or who may want to fly an Spinnaker or who have thought about a Bowsprit, etc, etc, need to look at Mark's M17. WOW!
