[C320-list] Glide tape - SECOND REQUEST

[Jack McDonough]

Jeff:

Now I'm going to have to take a closer look under the traveler.(The boat is 
on jack stands 20 miles away.)  I didn't know that the hood was removable. I 
thought it was a solid molded piece. And it's a two-beer job? Yikes. We 
brought all the beer home on Saturday.

Anyway, thank you. And thanks to Mike and Karl and everyone.
