I plan to make it there for a couple and want to plan to find the right ones. I am related to Peg through Holly, her number 2. Ken David:

We really want to buy one-what a good cause! I think that last summer was the first one that we did not renew our membership. No reason except that we never got to the meeting on the 4th. Somehow we are not on the email list. Our family has been member/s since our children started lessons in 78! One of our son's was the "crash boat" operator for a few years. We love Cotuit. We love the yacht club and want to continue to be involved. Thanks. Robinson family We saw a copy of the book at Bob Boden’s house last week. We really want to buy one-what a good cause!

I think even those of us not lucky enough to own one or even to have sailed on one would be interested. This book needs some marketing (David) - sell it at the library, sell it at the bookstore in Mashpee Commons, etc. Might need to work on the price though - $25.00 perhaps.

But agree "Wahini" sounds prettier. And the boat was gorgeous on Sunday during the informal series. What’s wrong with “Chick Magnet?” But agree “Wahini” sounds prettier.

Nice review and I am looking forward to getting mine. The second edition will start will the name change of #24 from Chick Magnet to Wahini. I believe the water color Cover was painted by Phil.
