[C320-list] Draft...again

[Larry Frank]

Pat,

Please accept my most sincere apology.  I meant no harm.

I wrote this before my morning cup of coffee.  After buying a new 135% UK
tape drive and having a smooth racing bottom paint job done on WindSwept in
April so I could do better in races, it would be reasonable for me to show
better judgment.  I can't imagine what I was thinking when I wrote that.  

As someone else correctly pointed out, you can't believe everything you read
these days.

Larry
WindSwept

Larry, after all the money I've spent on sails, halyards and other
equipment, now you tell me its' not a racer.  You sure know how to hurt a
guy and around the holidays too.
