Dear Rick, As a long time lurker, I have been drooling over other guys KRs and wishing I were starting on mine right now. Unfortunately, I have a half finished 44 foot trimaran in my back yard, and it has to get finished first. I live in Texas city, so I was wondering if your KR was anywhere close by so I could see it sometime. I'll show you mine if you show me yours......craft I mean Ron Bailey s/v Phantom (under construction) 44 foot Marples design trimaran >From: "Rick Human" <[email protected]> >Reply-To: KRnet <[email protected]> >To: "KRnet" <[email protected]> >Subject: KR> First Flight N202RH >Date: Sun, 8 Aug 2004 20:41:08 -0500 > >Yesterday 8/7/2004 KR-2 N202RH took flight for the first time.
