Murph,

Thanks for the report and for sharing that great article. The writer, Alaena Hostetter seems to catch on to the spirit that some of us classic cruiser "stewards" seen to posses toward our old treasures. The CYA (Classic Yacht Association) is doing a great service in keeping the history of yachting alive and well in Southern California. I enjoyed the article very much.

When I saw the topic title I was thinking of another acronym for CYA and wondered momentarily, "what on earth...?", an acronym that applies to the methods that some of us use to keep these treasures afloat. In reality, I believe that most of us think of ourselves as Drew Miser does, as stewards (rather than owners) of these old treasures for a while for future generations to enjoy.

Thanks Again,

Al
