: Btw, John,

: If you've not built this boat, had no idea what a PDQ racer was - had to look

Bill the first time I saw one was at a mess-about-meet at Lind Lake in Southern IL last spring. The lake was so rough that it was keeping some cabin boats on shore. I was at the boat ramp rigging my sail boat when these two guys pulled up with this Duck Boat and started to rig it. I thought it was a joke. The guy that owned the boat was David Gray of PolySails International. Those two guys sailed out into that weather in the PDRacer carrying 80 sqft of sail and they did all right. So after that I had a lot more respect for the brick as some call it.
