...that his latest boat was a direct consequence of his recent marriage... He was explaining how each of the boats he's built were "outgrown" by various changes in his circumstances, GINGER was "conceived" after his kids left the nest, for example. (If memory serves, I no longer have the article at hand) I'm not sure why a boat like GINGER would be adequate for a couple who are merely "dating", and a step up to something like ISOBEL was necessary once they became married - but that was pretty much the way he laid it all out for the writer of the article in BI...

btw, I've got nothing against a younger Trophy Girlfriend, some might even say I've had one or two during my time... (grin)

And as for your Google search, looks like I haven't lost my status as the CSBB's #1 Gasbag, eh?

I'm sorry for hijacking your thread, and the last thing I want to do is get caught in the middle between you, and that Commie Koslowski... (grin, bigtime)

best regards,

Jon
