Hi Paul, I'm probably about as far away from Chicago as possible. But, I've got a suggestion, look in the owners list in the MSOG. You'll possibly be able to contact someone off list who doesn't spend a great deal of time on the Internet. Yea, there are some people still like that. As far as asking for a free sail. I think I speak for most of us in the M-Cult. We love our craft, wish more people would join our group and would be proud to show off our boats. Sailing is the best way to prove the M-Boats are the best in their class... bar none! Bill SF Bay M-17 #496 "Tiperary"
