@rgranger I got to spend most of a day with John Marples about 12 years ago, when I hired him to do a pre-purchase survey on my prior boat, a Dragonfly 1000 tri that had been storm damaged. I was pleased to be able to hire a renowned a multihull architect especially because of the amount of damage, and the central question in my survey was whether it was worth repairing or should I pass on it? It took some restraint to refrain from excessive questioning, and allow him to focus on the business at hand. He's a humble guy and very interesting to talk with. Lunch with him was well worth the travel involved.
