Re: [MarcosManiacs] 200 Members !!

I'm involved with sail boats (I built my Ingrid ketch, so I help friends with their yachts etc.). The way your Marcos was built is the way most glass boats are still constructed today, the core materials have expanded to the new materials but high end plywood is still used in a lot of applications. This construction technology makes the hull and deck of the yachts have the strength and stiffness required at a very low weight. So you can go out a buy a new sailing yacht and spend X thousands/millions of $$ and get the same construction technology as #5179! So enjoy the show!!
Thanks

Don't know about all 200 at one time but... here is my
contribution.

I am taking #5179 to an antique motor boat show at
special invitation because of the wooden frame. The
show sponsor thinks the car fits in well with the
fancy wood boat crowd.
