Looking at the sail number, the mainsail number (if not the whole
boat) is the ex "Gunboat" Lou Castle's old F-27.
+++ Eric's right and he's a much better observer than I am. I read the
article (very nice Barry) and looked at the photo but didn't even recognize it as
my old Gunboat.
+++ Now it's Terry's (sorry I forget his last name) boat and I don't know if
it's been renamed.
+++ And since we're talking about photos at Summer Splash, someone on
another 31 took a picture of the new Gunboat, an F31R, on the way over to Catalina.
At that time Gunboat didn't have any sail numbers (they hadn't been
assigned yet). I'd like to get a copy of the photos but don't know who took them.
+++ Your boat was leading and we were on your starboard quarter for about 45
minutes. I started tweaking lines and then very slowly overtook and passed
you. As we pulled abeam someone on your boat took a few pictures of us as we
passed.
+++ We led until turning the corner and headed for Cat Harbor. Then my
laughable inability to sail off the wind allowed you to sail past like we were
anchored.
+++ If this sounds familiar to anyone and you have pictures of my boat, It's
white with gray nets and no sail numbers, please contact me off list. I'll
be happy to pay for the pix.

Lou Castle, Los Angeles, CA
