Re: Nautical Oddities
My friends Corsair 31 has folding amas. Makes it easy to trailer and requires a narrower slip than a standard tri. Very fast boat. Excess of 20knots on occasion.

Don't worry about it, just grind 'em flush and fuggedaboudit !



For those who don't follow USA news, Del's photo is the haulout of the plane that was downed by a flock of geese and landed in the Hudson River in New York City. He was a great pilot landing a huge glider.
