Don't believe it, Larry. Go ahead and add the pilot house. You'll be able
to put your pants on standing up, just like Larry Brown in his beautiful
"Brendan the Navigator." They haven't banned me yet, despite my lateen rig
and electric outboard. It's visionaries like us that will improve the breed.

Have you considered converting your P19 to a lateen yawl, using two Sunfish
rigs? No more sail slides, stays, jibs, jib halyards, jibsheets, downhauls,
jib furling, and all that other unneccessary stuff. And you wouldn't need
such a heavy keel. I'm offering that as a free suggestion, and it is well
worth the price.

By the way, how about inserting a paragraph break once in a while?

When and where is the first Potter Yachter sail this year?
