The M in the 4 character date code is a placeholder and has no meaning.
The year indicated is not the model year. It is the year of
certification. That basically means the date the build paperwork was
generated. The date code does not indicate model year other than by
coincidence, and it does n
Some other tips.
Don't reply to a digest without removing irrelevant content.
I read the digests and when someone reply's to one and leaves the entire

Love the attitude of the one boat that broke, came back, got another boat
and continued on.

liked preferred email list
We are almost all old codgers so any technology newer than 1995 or so befuddles
and confuses us. You will also note that most of us choose boats built before
the age of internet as well
Dennis, thanks for sharing the article; More power to the crew on the
dismasted boat!...now that's some true sailing spirit! I would love to hear
from the "Deja Vu" owner/crew after the race is over, if anyone knows him,
please ask if he would give us a recap of the racing and Cuba! Thanks
Steve keeps "Deja Vu" in my marina. I suspect he will cruise a bit on the
way back. He did the Mexico race last year and gave us a summary of that
race. Hopefully he'll do the same for this one.

The "Internet" in 'modern' sense was established in 1982, ARPANET. Early nets
were in use by the 70s, usually limited to localized computers (campus wide).
I was lucky to work for Linkabit, an early adopter; that company developed the

Go Steve! Way to represent the 34+ :-) He seems to be doing well so far
being in the top 10.. I'll have to ask about his crew. Not surprised he's
out-running bigger boats.. I can attest to the 34+ 's abilities to punch
above its weight class..
Steve sold me my boat and lives about 35 minute

Looking for a 32?
There's one for sale in my marina. It hasn't seen much use the last few

HI Rob,

I would second that. You do a really good job, Stu, and we all appreciate it. I
think the idea of a periodic fund drive is quite good.
If I may suggest something, I would say that another good idea would be to find
someone who could step up, when Stu is no longer able to continue. From a

The “M” actually does mean something – that the manufacturer is using the MODEL
Year format that was optional prior to August 1, 1984.
Why August 1st? Because any boat started after August 1st is by definition a

If you look at the date codes listed under

Thank you for the explanation/clarification on the HIN..It makes
