Glad I made it as well! Being able to talk with designers, builders and the MAS Rep. was a great help. I saw several great idea's for my current project like recessed pad eyes for rigging. I am building a jig to make them with a router now. Thanks to Michael and his demo on the canoe glassing, I feel much more confident about glassing my boat. See you all next year with a boat in tow! P.S. I hope to post some pictures of the event soon.
