: I can say that my own Disko Bay turned just great - for me. Or, at

Dave:

Don't get me wrong. I do like the Disko Bay and am pleased with it - but when I built it, I was thinking it was going to be more like a play boat. But in hindsight, why would a traditional boat be built for that purpose? They were, after all, work boats and not play boats.

Cheers,
