Jeff,

Sounds like a Formula 1 GP finish .

Thanks for the history and the LINKs. The wooden Struer's are exquisite
examples of the merging of form and function. Good to see the "wings"
eliminated under the new rules. Much cleaner. Always wanted to water-ski
behind a K-4. ha !

Look forward to seeing your finished boat.

Tom
