Joe, Curt and all,
How cool to see the KCSS come together!
Just one more reason Iâ??ll always be proud to be considered a FoT.
Joe - Is that display photo of your/Kasâ?? boat?
Iâ??m a relative neophyte when it comes to performance hull architecture (steep
learning curve) but is that a Lapworth design? - profile looks familiar.
Connie, Theo â??The Monkey Dogâ?? and I are headed out on Monday to
â??Mirageâ?? in Puget Sound for some time in the San Juan Islands. Pics for
anyone interested ð???.
Best,
Greg â??Lunkerâ?? Hilyer
TR4 #314
Cal3-30
Albuquerque NM
And a P.S. -
Am I confusing my heroâ??s or did Kas also consult/contribute to a Americaâ??s
Cup effort (late â??70s/earlyâ??80s)?
