Captain Dave,

First of all, you have without a doubt the classiest H16 boat and trailer setup I have ever seen, not to take anything away from others' impeccable work we have seen on these forums. Exquisite workmanship, superb color choices.

I have a question. Who's asking you for these figures? If I were your monohull aquaintance, and you bought a (gasp) multi-hull, I'd be scared too. This obviously isn't your first resto project. Do you realize the large void they're feeling? of losing you forever?

They all know you will never come back from the clutches of "zee catamaran". The speed and exileration standard has been raised to a level they can never again attain for you. They can not prove it to you on the water so they're grasping at your intellect in an attempt to keep you from going to..."the Dark Side".

Why Daves' been so busy on the internet lately,
"Dave don't you think you'd command a bristol price for that er Hobie?"
"Dave, don't you think you're a bit old for a craft such as that?"...

but alas Dave you are gone,

gone forever,

and (sob,sob) deep down inside,

they all know,

now

there is no coming back,

for Captain Dave.
