[C320-list] New Boat

[Rod Boer]

Congratulations Alec,

It is interesting that many people trade their C320s in on newer C320s.  It 
is a great boat.  Keep us in mind for any new adventures.  I still enjoy 
reading your articles on your crossings of the North Sea and participation 
in the Fastnet race.  Good luck.
