Dear Mr. Monfort,
Well, I finally
finished my 10' Whitehall Jr. and I want to thank you for the
many helpful pamphlets and guidance you gave me along the way
when I telephoned from time to time.
I'm enclosing
several photos, some showing a few little details of areas of
interest. For instance the method I used to strengthen the skeg;
the pieces I fitted into the bow to give a safer hand hold under
the little breast piece; the extra piece glued to the inside of
the wineglass stearnboard to receive the stringers. Also some
photos as proof she floats. Her launching was a great success
over Labor Day Weekend on Cape Pogue Pond on Chappaquiddrick.
She is christened Fiddlesticks.
Thanks for
providing me with so much pleasure. The picture of my with my
grandson, Ian, says it all.
Best Regards,
Allen D. Slater
