I was not aware of David. There is another guy I have been talking to that says
this year is a no go but maybe next and another that is moving to Utah and is
very interested. Things are looking up here in the desert!

Help me welcome our newest member, David Kerr USA 075 (he is our 76th).
David and a friend will be building a couple of Swifts in the Salt Lake
City area. (Robert--a chance to get three on the water there).
The high level of excitement and rapid growth in our class has led to a
number of discussions about class growth. I've come to realize that
we've stumbled onto something special (besides a great boat). Sailors
are watching us and when they see the high level of volunteerism and
support among our members they realize that the level of commitment in
our class is second to no other class. Because the majority of our
members have built their own boats, we have a foundation of achievers
that subscribe to the "make it happen" theory (as opposed to "let it
happen"). Your continued help with support when I'm not
available is evidence of the bonds that are formed by helping one
another through the process of building and sailing Swifts.
The shortage of Swifts available for sale will need to be addressed
fairly soon and we need to discuss some options at our general
membership meeting in April. As fleets begin to form, the demand is
likely to grow quickly. Kris Henderson is helping in Seattle but it is
unlikely that he will find time to build more than three or four a
year. Ideas to improve availability are welcome and will be presented
at the meeting.
Thanks to all of you for your help and support. You've made the entire
Swift Solo experience exceed what I dreamed it could be. With your
continued help, we will see exponential growth over the next several years.
Best regards,
Bram
