It's been fun looking at all your old pictures. I remember you taking many of them but I never thought that I'd ever see them again. This site is a fantastic idea!
Do you remember when E.G. Marshall used Tabor Boy for his television show? I believe it was the "Defenders"
If I remember correctly it was at NewPort. My faith in television was forever changed when they nailed the cue cards to the dock and he had trouble reading them.
Sold the Ranger to a teacher that took it around the world.
Haven't been sailing since 83! Too busy working and raising a family. Did race the SORC while in college.
P.S. Glad to see comments by Chan and "Flash"
