Hi Bruce,

I had a very successful launch on Nov 7th in San Carlos, Mexico. I have updated my web-site http://public.fotki.com/robtm373/ Many photos of the launch. Feel free to use any photos for your DOWNLOAD or on USB
- YOU CHOOSE DOWNLOAD OR USB
. . .e-book BUILD YOUR OWN SAILBOAT. I have taken the boat out a dozen times since the launch and am very happy with its performance. It does well on all points of sail and really loves 15-20kts! I am very happy with the results of my years of labor and am very appreciative of your timely responses to all my questions over the years. Thanks, Robert Millikin

I am attaching one of my favorite underway photos of SILVERADO. In the past two years I have experienced virtually all sailing conditions one will see in the Sea of Cortez.

SPRAY 28 - JANUARY 2012

Aluminum version built by Robert Millikin

Hi Bruce, I just wanted to advise you of a change that I have made to my SPRAY 28 web site. You currently have a link to it under your Spray 28 page. The new link is: http://public.fotki.com/robtm373

It's been two years since we launched SILVERADO. We have logged around 2500 miles in the sea of Cortez....The boat is amazing!

I am attaching one of my favorite underway photos of SILVERADO. In the past two years I have experienced virtually all sailing conditions one will see in the Sea of Cortez. The boat is extremely comfortable in all conditions especially when it gets rough.

Thanks again for your timely responses. Robert Millikin Tucson, AZ

ANOTHER SPRAY 28:

Hi Bruce. I purchased Gypsy from a couple back in 2007 in Cornucopia Wisconsin. You had asked me to send some updated pics of Gypsy which is now located in Mobile,Alabama. I sailed her the length of Lake Superior ,across the Northern part of Lake Huron down Lake Michigan to Chicago,took the mast down in Chicago ,down the Illinois River to the Mississippi River,to the Ohio River,to the Tennessee River,to the Black Warrior River to the Alabama River and now working to build up a STEEL OR ALUMINUM PLANS & CUTTING FILESty for future voyages
The boat was great on the river system with the shallow draft. She handled 10-12' seas on Lake Michigan with ease, I think she is a fine design. Regards, GREG.
