OOPHS !!!! Did I say Davids suggestion I meant John's. Blame it on The
heat or the fact that I had to drink 89 pints while writing last
night. In the clear of the morning, with coffee, I can see my error.
JOHN did you find the West system as a package ? When I was into
wooden boats the West brothers had just come out with the system for
building boats and it was not available. Interestingly the other new
method was concrete hulls.
Well I'm just stalling so I don't have to go out into the heat .
