THANKS, sue!
but what i find odd about the ad is that is says it draws 2' 2", has a draft of 5' 9" and has a wing.
it's an A L I E N ! _________________ Mike Hayden

Sorry Mike,
I just could not resist. I knew what you were asking and that was the best answer I could find! >g< I think it is probably a standard wing keel with some facts mixed up. IF you take the picture of the boat on stands and play with the lightning, you can see the wing kee. I don't know how these places get thier information, but they often seem to mix up facts or state them in a very strange way. They sometimes even steal descripions word for word off of web sites. >g<
I love reading those newpapers that are just full of things for sale. So many will list a "pull behind trailer". I have yet to see anyone offer a "push in front trailer". I wonder if the pull behind trailer is a southern term. |

No :) , an alien is an Australian one-design that never really took off:
Alien 21, Built in 1992 by Alan Swarbrick. I think that less than ten were built.
ALIEN 21, LOA - 21' · BEAM - 8' · DRAFT - 3'6" · weight 660lb - Fast club racer
- and one of these is my nemisis in Div 5 at SoPYC _________________ Logs, Windjana wk #264

heh. there are just not enough good words to go around. that's why new ones need to be created all the time, like dismastilization, radoo, craptasticals, etc. _________________ Mike Hayden
