Chet:

     If you noticed on the site it said if you have any questions ask
Captain Bob Weber.  Feel free to ask Captain Weber a question on this list. 
Simply change to subject line to Bob Weber.  See if he is awake these days.

     Gee, Art, if you taught John Rousmaniere to sail, then you must be ten
years older than Stan.  And you still jumped into the water with your
gouchies on?

      Speaking of age, did you see the report that Olin Stephens is still
racing?  This past September(2006) he was on the sailboat, Dorade, which he
designed in 1929 and it is the same boat he was on in 1931 when he won the
Trans-Atlantic race to England.  This is the same Olin Stephens of
Sparkman-Stevens boat designers in business when Stan was a young man
sailing around Brooklyn.
