Hi Nolan

Yes I have done the changes to the plans, I still may need to do a litte shaving off the half size deck forms. But all stations are on my strong back now and first 4 strips are on and it looks great!

I guess that I am a perfectionist at heart, it is what i get paid to do. I spend time looking at designs, drawings and company problem and make suggestions on how to correct them. But maybe I should have not brought my pashion for design or problem solving into these descusions.

But if any one want some ideas on how faired Rob's laughing loon, North Star plans and it's sheerline problem I would be happy to shair it.

Some time it a lot of fun watching a ball being thrown, but it is more fun throwing it yourself.

Thanks for taking the time to type, have some good sunsets this summer.

Cheers: Brian
