In addition to being a sailor, Dave is also an excellent craftsman.

Notice the DN frames in the photo, thats probably whats he's smiling about. I'm sure Dave built those. Dave also built a square white catbox for his Crack X N6.0. The fit and finish on this box impressed me to the point that I struck up a conversation with Dave and we started corresponding with him on a next generation version. Dave pointed me towards using Corecell foam for the box. I started work on my own box, and at some point I got distracted and started building a boat. My initial work on the catbox gave me enough confidence and experience in working with epoxy and foam that I dove into the boat project. If I hadnt met Dave and hadnt started the catbox project, I probably wouldnt have built the A cat.

I hope Dave is able to sail and build again soon.
