TRI CABIN HISTORY IN PRINT!!!

-----AND YES, THIS THREAD IS TROJAN RELATED-----
one of the things about being grounded with a sinus infection, is the ability to turn into a total 'internet slug'. last week i was looking on ebay, typing
in my usual 'trojan' in the search engine. to my surprise and excitement, i discovered a 'vintage boating magazine' from december 1971. in this magazine is 'boating test 195' THE TROJAN 36' TRI-CABIN. this is the test article that dad used as a reference tool and schlepped all over the place with us when we went to boat shows, the shepherd plant in ontario, etc..... i remember this article like it was yesterday, and when the magazine was delivered yesterday, i read it from cover to cover. not only is this test article great to have as a piece of history, but, it also shows the boat in prototype form (it used the hull from the original sea raider tri cabin w/ opening forward portlights), but the stats on the construction are worth it's weight in gold. i'll post some of them here if you guys want. i'm going to try to xerox it for dad, and, if it copies okay, i will be glad to distribute it to any and all. if for no other reason than for you guys to have a real piece of trojan history.
