Stu Jackson: It's been a number of years since I've seen a copy of the Mainsheet magazine. I always looked forward to receiving it because it was a wealth of technical info and general info about Catalina boats. The editor, Jim Holder, contacted me recently and asked if I would write some articles about sail trim in hopes of generating a greater interest in the magazine. I guess the print media form of communication is going out of vogue, which is too bad.
Anyway, when I got to the Catalina 34 section I noticed your picture. I showed my wife and she thought you were very distinguished looking -- and I agreed!! It's nice to put a face with a name. Over the years I've had many written contacts with the regular contributors to the forum but never had the pleasure of meeting most of them in person. It's one of the limiting factors of the internet but where else would I be able to communicate with sailors from all over world.
