On cooks and bankers, an 84-year old woman says something important, and, just maybe, it is time to use the "R" word...
I've been talking to a few of Boat Bit's regular readers (and yes, the irony of using the term "regular" in conjunction with the crazed, depraved, and rather motley crew that actually reads this rag is not lost on me) and the input has been good and a little bit of change would be no bad thing.
We are going to introduce a once a week feature that will dwell on real basic stuff, sort of a newbie sailing, boatbuilding, and cruising 101... So you now have something to look forward to (or maybe not) on Mondays.
Another new series will be some interviews with some exceptional boat designers who are ahead of the curve, have strong opinions, and not the sort who simply pump out cookie cutter designs. Point of fact, I'm really looking forward to this and I'll be asking some very hard questions. So rest assured it won't be the same old, same pimp fest... The first up against the wall (so to speak) will be Rodger Martin who has a lot of shoal draft sharpie fans some kind of excited, check out his Presto Sharpie (Cruising World's "Boat of the Year") for a taste...
Lastly, in the run up to the Buford Self-steering gear plans going active, there will be a lot of information on self-steering and various related projects in the works which should tie in nicely to the whole basic Monday theme.
Nuff said.

So it goes...
