Some think I write here only in jest, but the facts show otherwise.

As you can sea, the tubular sail ship crossed the Atlantic and was quite
successful. The kite driven sailboats are sailed in the same waters where
the P-14 was originated. This last weekend several Potterers saw with their
own eyes the testing of the pivoting mast system. In fact, Tom Westerman
sailed the pivoting mast craft with great skill. Needless to say, when you
suspect a leg is being pulled - make sure it is not you pulling your own.
