enjoy your trip jerry.  when i worked in minnesota i took multiple trips to the boundary waters canoe area.  my MN friends now love reminding me that the canoe we traveled with was longer than both my M15 and M17.   look forward to your SCA article.  i look forward to all of your writings as they are informative, and in many ways help me understand how you designed/built the Mboats.     dave scobie M17 #375 - sweet pea (http://www.m17-375.webs.com) M15 #288 - SCRED (for sale, http://www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred) --- On Mon, 5/18/09, jerry <jerry@jerrymontgomery.org> wrote: Thanks again for your comments; they are still coming in and keep it up!  I'm leaving this afternoon for an annual canoe camping/fishing in a wilderness are in the Sierras, and when I get back I'll review them and come up with some kind of concensus and post it.  Looks like we are prejudiced in the way of wrinkles, as I suspected. For my next column for SCA I'm working on an artical on small boat interiors, which ties in with all this. jerry _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats Remember, there is no privacy on the Internet!
