You are a great inspiration.

Looks like John went about as far as he cold reasonably go without making the boat look like a fiberglass Bayliner “Buccaneer” (if you’re familiar with that Puget Sound boat). This is one (and as far as I can tell, the only) advantage to being a short person.

I’m impressed it only took him two years to build his boat; a lot of people take that long to build a 10′ skiff.

Perfectly said (70-year-old here)

You have more energy than I do at 76. Anyhow, I am from Pittsburgh, but have vacationed / summered in Vermilion, Ohio. Put that on your ports of call, and you will be glad you did. Make sure you contact the local paper. The locals will enjoy your boat – and you, too.

Top of my friend list as well. Very good descriptive article and just touches his support and involvement in sailing and racing that spans his life. MY WAY could just as well been NEVER SAY NEVER!!

Congratulations to a job well done. I am proud to have been a sailing friend, customer—he made sail boom sunshade and covers with help from Mike Fahle for my Harpoon, 21′ monohull. I missed seeing RED CLOUD at the Port Clinton Yacht Club Green Island race. Fair winds and Happy Sailing MY WAY.
