Chicago - Computation Center Lines: 18 [] About 10-15 years ago two men did a trans-Atlantic crossing in a Cal 20 (!). The hull on the Cal feels a little flimsy, so they beefed it up a bit before they left the U.S. After the voyage was over they said that they really didn't need the hull reinforcements that they had added, and could have done without the extra weight. -- Melinda Shore University of Chicago Computation Center uucp: ..!ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!shor Mailnet: staff.melinda@uchicago.mailnet Bitnet: shor%sphinx@uchicago.bitnet ARPA: staff.melinda%uchicago.mailnet@mit-multics.arpa
