I do not want this published because it is speculative, but I wonder if
Buzzards Bay Cats (MDCAT)are still in business? I have not seen one of their
boats at a boat show for several years, nor have they advertised in any of
the dozens of magazines I subscribe to, including "Power Catamaran." I agree
it is a terrific boat - I sea trialed one in Narragansett Bay four or five
years ago - but the founder seemed to have limited capital and they had
problems finding sub-contractor to build the boats. Last I heard they were
being built in Nova Scotia, but I doubt one has been built for a while since
they essentially ceased marketing a couple of years ago.

Regards,

Buzzards Bay is alive and well, Russell Hunt, the owner, tells me.
I've invited him to post an update, so we should hear from him shortly.

The default reply setting at Power Catamaran List is for replies to go
to the entire group. This is so in order to assist communications and
encourage discussions on a relatively new and small list.

If you do NOT want a response to go to the entire list, check the To:
field in your email before you hit the send button. Anything addressed
to power-catamaran@lists.samurai.com will be distributed to all
subscribers.

All well and good, but to those of us who subscribe to multiple lists it
is confusing to have the list rules applied differently and depending on
which email client is used the actual list the post orginates from is
obscured except as fine print (if it even does that). Posts look very
different depending on whether I read webmail or use some other program,
computer or PDA.
