Dear Matt, There's a perfectly small and forgivable-but, to me, significant-mis-identification in the caption in the profile of Mark Mason in Getting Started in Boats (WB No. 232): The boat identified as SCOTTY TOO should be SCOTTY TWO-the one in the background in that photo. It was on SCOTTY TOO's restoration that I, at age 15 and working for my uncle Everett, got my start in boats. Of course I was just a floor sweeper, sander-man, and plank-holder at that time, but I caught the passion for boats while in the midst of a very bright and talented group working out the details of an intricate project. SCOTTY TWO, in the background of the shot in question, is the new boat. By all accounts she is a wonderful and intelligent iteration of an absolutely awesome original.
