Re: AGM matters

Andy your comments are well known and have been at the heart of the  
discussion from the first time we all gathered together. I have no  
intention of making the ownership of a Swift to be an exclusive  
proposition. I would just like to protect the ability for an average  
builder to be able to produce a competative boat should he decide to go  
that route. I'd like to keep it so that you don't get caught up into the  
SMOD idea of the MPS. It is great for the MPS and the RSnnnn boats but I'd  
prefer not to see it in the Swift. We also have to find a way to cheeply  
produce boats by whatever means that almost any comercial builder could  
produce boats from a licenced mold but at the same time, the home builder  
can produce a similar quality boat that will show little if any difference  
on the water. Then there is the whole who ultimately owns the plugs and  
the molds and many other issues to sort out. Finding a good balance from  
all of this will be one of the biggest hurdles the class will probably  
have to get over.

Right now I am open to all suggestions but I will only be pigheaded on  
keeping a place at the table for the home build.
